No One Succeeds Alone
Like any other aspect of human interaction, the business world has its share of myths. One myth in particular seems to pervade it at all levels, from the rarified heights of people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Donald Trump right on down to the little Mom and Pop stores that are barely scraping by. Many of us call it "The Myth of the Entrepreneurial Hero."
In his essay "Entrepreneurship Reconsidered," published in The Harvard Business Review back in 1987, Robert B. Reich (who shortly thereafter became Bill Clinton's Secretary of Labor) points out that this myth is as old as America. Basically, it tells us that true business success is the province of a few rugged individualists, mavericks who clawed their way to the top by means of Horatio Alger's famous recipe of pluck and luck, determination and courage, creativity and tenacity. Oh, the average, everyday workers were there, all right, but they were faceless drones, mere cogs in the business machine that, at best, played a supporting role in the success carved out by the brave few with their entrepreneurial spirit and creative drive.
Bullpucky, to coin a phrase.
The truth is, no one gets rich alone, no matter how it may look from the outside. For one thing, when you're in business, you have to depend on your customers for your income. Looking beyond your customer base, support can come in a variety of flavors and combinations. Some people are supported by their families and mentors. Some build an excellent staff or team of employees. Others construct joint venture enterprises with other businesses. Many find partners—either in the business or romantic sense or, even better, both—to help them build a strong foundation of success. Most of us do most or all of the above because, we humans being what we are, it's almost impossible to succeed by yourself. We all need each other. For every successful entrepreneur, there are at least 2-3 people that helped them along. Sometimes, there are dozens, or hundreds.
In this chapter, I'll take a look at all those people (besides your customers and family) who are fundamental in helping you succeed. First, I'll examine the folks who comprise your in-house support group, your employees, and how you should handle them. In the second half of the chapter, I'll discuss those people outside the company who can actively help you succeed, including mentors and MasterMind participants, joint venture partners, suppliers, and vendors. I'll wrap up the chapter with a discussion of delegation and outsourcing, the most commonly-used methods for leveraging other people's efforts in order to get work done.

When did running a Corporation into the ground become the new American Horatio Alger myth?
Oh you're talking about the ties Obama has with Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae and their fat cat CEO's. Look at the socialist left for the answer, but then again; they'll only lie to you.
