He is not going to be adjusting the sparkplugs or putting fuel in the car or playing around with the spoilers. His job is to drive the car, that’s what he does. Now, as a business owner, I see this as a very common mistake. Business owners are trying to do the wrong thing. A classic example is websites. I did this in the beginning and perhaps you did too.
