I’m sure Helen is making fat stacks

[@rold-hx8bu]

​@@GetSomeGringojust enough to keep her compliant

[@poppyflorist]

​@@rold-hx8buwhat else do you expect from work that is mutually agreed? She deserves the money because she knows to run the business better than him and is still running it, because she loves it. What do you want in life? To be rich and waste life away enjoying with no purpose of progress towards anything? Your thinking is crap!

[@Dezerath]

Sounds like Helen never managed her Finances or skills enough. Same skillset but different outcomes? Or maybe Helen is 30-48, and is building the skillset to breakout on her own. How about. Helen didn’t want the headache of liability or startup cost. Helen never had any contacts in the industry. Everybody in a company is equally important.

My company hired a Helen who was a stock broker doing all of the work while her more senior partner getting a higher percentage of the commissions was doing nothing but vacationing. Our Helen took nearly all of the clients, because they haven’t even spoke to the other guy in years. I promise you, if you make someone else do all the work and they aren’t being fairly compensated - they will resent you.

[@ryanshippy2390]

Lot of pessimism in the comments, I’ve read all of Richard Bransons books, the guy he is referencing. He essentially frontloaded all his work in effort in the first half of his life and now franchises his brand to other companies he aligns with. Props to Helen but Helen wouldn’t have a job unless Richard spent countless hours and years building his companies and brand. Once you’ve made it you can hire people to do your work for you to “buy back your time”.

Spoiler: that assistant earns like 45-60k/y for basically being the CEO.
