"First, you cut out the middle man (your boss) and start working for yourself. Then, you hire someone else to actually do the work while you handle the high level stuff."

So - you cut out the middle man, and then become the middle man?

The article kind of felt like you were saying some obvious stuff which made perfect sense, like "work ON your company, not IN it".. But there was a distinct feeling that you are leaving out other factors to your success. Surely you aren't successful simply because you delegated work to others, and to suggest as much makes your article just feel disingenuous.

I could be entirely wrong though, I'm not even nearly as accomplished as you.
