It's a question a lot of folks ask themselves in all sorts of situations. In business, this question becomes key.

Sure, we all want to be valuable. But, how valuable? Not enough value and you wont be successful. Too much value and you can't leave without hurting the business.

In any entrepreneurial endeavour, you want to provide value enough to make the business successful without it becoming dependant on you. Add to this the ability to delegate and create a self-sustaining operation without training your future competition.

It's a tough balance, but understanding what value you bring to the table and the manner in which it you bring it is a key element to entrepreneurial success.
