I absolutely agree with you. I knew a very smart guy who went out to start his own company and you could see the failure coming a mile away. He thought because he was smarter than most at some things, he was smarter than everyone at everything. Bankruptcy quickly ensued.

If you can't create that core of people to trust, delegate, get advice from, you can not reach the higher level.
