I'm sure you've heard that before. Here's the truth--you will never get great work done if you are indispensable. if your company relies upon you so much that if you were hit by a bus the company would grind to a halt, you are doing something wrong.  Real work is pushing a team to excel.  If your're indispensable you will never be able to do that.

Step Two: Build Out The Business Documentation

If you are the only person who know how specific things work, how are you ever going to be able to do great things? Documentation will keep your employees from having to consult with you every time there is an issue.

Step Three: Set Thing Up To Run Without You

What's so special aobut you that no one else can do it? What are the tricks you use so the business cannot function without you?  Take all of that and standardize it. Once your success is reproducible you've made yourself dispensable and you can be replaced. Now you can go on to do the great things that no one else can do.
