Hundreds of thousands of people make a living doing one thing and one thing only...telling other people what to do. Right now, you get up early every day. You survive the commute to your work. You take orders from someone else - and then you get a paycheck. One that's probably a lot smaller than your boss' check - even if you know a lot more about what's going on than he or she does.
