Let me begin by saying that I'm a Scandal fanatic. I am an O.G. (Original Gladiator) and am in complete awe of Shonda Rimes' genius.
With that said, in looking at Olivia Pope & Associates business structure, I wonder if it could survive without Olivia. She's the self-proclaimed "Fixer". Olivia is the brains and the talent. Without Olivia, the sign on the door would say, "Sorry, we're closed for good".
There was one episode where Abby served as Olivia's proxy in a White House meeting. *Spoiler alert*Spoiler alert* It didn't go over too well. Abby isn't and can never be Olivia. Abby is great at what she does and that's assist her boss.
Olivia Pope's natural gifts and talents make her phenomenal in business. However, if she was to take ill or pass away, the business would cease to exist. Olivia is an only child with no children. There wouldn't be anything or anyone to carry on the Pope legacy. Yes, the bloodline is a little tainted. Nonetheless, the white hat donned by Olivia would be no more.
Olivia Pope and Associates need what every small business needs...passive income. She needs a way to make money without having to physically do the work every time. Olivia needs products that will exist into infinity and beyond. She needs dvds, cds, t-shirts, books...something!
Products are the key to creating the life and legacy you desire. I don't ever remember an episode where Olivia was on vacation or just hanging out with college friends. Why? Because if she's not working, then there's no income coming in. I'm sure she left the White House and started her company to have more freedom and help more people. Unfortunately, that's not what she created. Olivia has a business, not an empire. An empire continues on long after the founder is gone.
