so today I have noticed some things the sky is bluer, the sun is shinier
and the world even brighter than before
that's what happens the day after a storm. And as difficult as it was
I've weathered my own. I've bundle up, asked myself the tough questions grappled with
personal lessons and
well, you know that old saying 'whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger'?
I am Emma Woodhouse and now I am
unstoppable
helping my sister Izzy work through her problems with John
reminded me of something very important I almost forgot
I have a gift and it is my duty to share it with the world
I have been put on this planet to make people's lives better and that is what I
do.
to stumble is human but to recover and run at full speed
now that's heroic
Hi Emma. I took some time this morning to look up some perspective new clients.
There you go, way to take the initiative. I want all the clients. We need to push that pedal to the floor.
- Let's throw a party. - A party, now?
More like an intimate gathering. High-quality attendees, hors d'oeuvres cocktails, you know.
- I think so... - We can invite all those prospective clients and any others you find.
It will be the perfect opportunity for me to introduce myself to the people
that need me
- That's a great idea! Do we want an open bar? -obviously
Nothing like a little social lubricant to get people to reveal personal
problems. And that's where we come in.
Harriet, find a place I can host us!
Absolutely!
Hello.
- I couldn't help but overhear. - You can never help but overhear.
- a party? - more like an intimate gathering.
- with an open bar? - and hors d'oeuvres, we aren't savages.
- That sounds expensive, who's paying for this? - We are! it's the perfect environment to get
new clients
and we can celebrate our most recent client victory!
You did a good job with Izzy and John, but they're not your clients. they are our siblings.
- Hence the celebration. Family love. - And love is all they need.
We on the other hand should be spending money that we don't have.
Money follows success.
Have you ever even looked at our Q4 profits and losses?
Yeah, they look great. Lots of numbers mean lots of money.
Lots of numbers may be like the money but in our
case it means like the money being spent.
- It shows that we're bold and fearless-- - and company that hemorrhages finances.
Such a downer. Okay Mr. Knightley. I see what you want me to do.
- You do? - It's not going to be as appealing to our guests but
I'll have Harriet make it a cash bar.
- Emma. -Yes?
I need you to make someone's life better. A friend.
Really? I'd love to.
- I need you to meet with Maddy Bates. - Oh my god, you're serious.
I'm already on her email list of daily inspirational quotes, how much better of
- a friend could I possibly be? - despite what you think, she actually is a lot of useful
information to share.
- about homemade jams, maybe. - she's actually really good with the numbers. and that's
And that's why you're here to share numbers with her.
- Didn't you meet with her last week? - Yes, and we were going
over our company's expenses for the fourth quarter and she had some really
innovative ideas on how we could become more efficient
Wow, is it me or did it just get really boring in here?
- Emma, I think you-- - You business, me creative. Don't blur the boundaries.
Division labor works.
- You remember the Industrial Revolution! - Do you even know the bad things that happened
because of the Industrial Revolution?
You know, forget it. Maddy's business is going through a little bit of a
slow period right now. - okay, and?
And she's depressed about it and it doesn't help that you keep canceling on her lunches.
I think a chat with you would really cheer her up.
Alex Knightley, look at you trying to help people. I must be rubbing off on you.
- Well you do set a pretty strong example. - So you want me to meet with Maddie
and make her life better.
Yeah, just listen to her and hear what she has the say.
Oh, I see your game Alex Knightley.
- Game, what game? There's no game. - you want me to listen to Maddy so I will learn how
to be more financially responsible.
- Why do you even try? - I'll admitted that would be an added bonus
but she really does need the help.
Look, if this is about her business, that's your department.
I might know the business, but you're the one that helps people.
See? Isn't it better when we stick to what we're good at? Maximize efficiency and
division of labor. Industrial Revolution!
- So you'll do it? - Yes. And then we'll throw our party?
Fine. But one more thing.
- You know Maddy. She doesn't like to ask for help. - Of course. You know it's my specialty to
help people who can't ask for it.
- That is, if you're sure she needs it. - I am.
- So, we good? - She won't even know I'm helping.
good
