"Through the years, I have greatly feared and sought to keep at bay the four beasts that inevitably devour their keeper -- Ego, Envy, Avarice, and Ambition."

And therin lies the problem. People who start and/or run businesses end up getting consumed by ambition and ego. Their businesses end up failing, or failing to meet the full potential becuase that person refuses to make an organization that can function without him or her. This seems unnatural since many people feel they *are* their work and if their work doesn't rely on them they feel they are wandering without purpose.

UPDATE: Whoops. That should be "People who start and/or run businesses *usually* end up.." I should proofread my posts better.
