no, i mean more like, why can't he start to structure the company so that he doesn't have to be directly involved so much? gradually change business processes and such so that he only has to throw in an hour or two a day, freeing up time for other things. it'll cost him, will mean he has to spend more money on other things (another employee perhaps), but he'll still be making $, have direct influence on the company, and the freedom/power to jump back into it full time if he wants.
