01 · The question

It sounds like your revenue increased dramatically when Rachel came on board. How did you find her and is your profit percentage after you pay her and pay yourself? I saw in something that you have like a profit share with Rachel how does that work?

Kate's take, in a sentence or two

Kate confirmed her revenue did increase dramatically after Rachel joined. Rachel started as a full-time W-2 employee around 2022, transitioned to a low-hours contractor during Kate's sabbatical, then left for another job before returning in May 2025 in a much larger capacity. This year, Kate set up a tiered bonus system where Rachel earns a flat fee plus bonuses tied to revenue goals (not a true percentage-based profit share).
