Please help me explain this sentence “I calculate that this should springboard him way beyond anything he has time to do with his workload. Should take me seven years or so and then that rather ramshackle, seat-of-the-pants empire he is building could look rather beautiful. This is a sentence from a novel. The narrator is a woman who likes the man. the man owned a company which was getting in trouble. It seems the woman want to marry him and help him run his company. Is that right?

Based just on the extract you have provided, I can't see anyway to conclude that the woman wants to marry this man! Perhaps you got that from reading other parts of the novel?

She is saying that something he is doing (working on) will be successful and springboard elevate him to significant riches. 2d paragraph: ramshackle - seat of the pants. Means a very disorganized manner.
