      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.

    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”.
