Mediocrity spreads like a fog through any organisation.
It takes an heroic effort on a day-by-day basis and enormous amounts of physical and mental stamina to stave off the inevitable fog of mediocrity. To assume that you can set up a business or an organisation of any kind and leave it to run ticking over in the background is a deluded dream which turns into a nightmare.
The thoughts of the entrepreneurial business that you can walk away from for six months and return back and nothing has changed are, I believe, a business myth. You can set someone else in charge but when you return it will be their organisation and not yours. That's cool if you don't give a crap about what the organisation looks like or does as long as it makes money; you can find people who will do that but they will never, ever be able to hold on to your vision within the organisation for any period of time because it is your vision, through your eyes, applied by your hands and you can't delegate or abdicate that. You can only work that every single day as hard as you can.
