P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Accordingly, leaving all my business affairs at home in the hands of my friends, early in 1857 I set sail once more for England, taking with me General Tom Thumb, and also little Cordelia Howard and her parents. This young girl had attained an extended reputation for her artistic personation of “Little Eva,” in the play of “Uncle Tom,” and she displayed a precocious talent in her rendering of other juvenile characters. With these attractions, and with what else I might be able to do myself, I determined to make as much money as I could, intending to remit the same to my wife’s friends, for the purpose of repurchasing a portion of my estate, when it was offered at auction, and of redeeming such of the clock notes as could be obtained at reasonable rates.

白话
巴纳姆在1857年初把家里的生意交给朋友打理,自己带着拇指汤姆将军和擅长演“小伊娃”的小女孩科迪莉亚·霍华德一家再次去英国。他打算靠这些人和自己的本事尽量多赚钱,然后把钱汇给妻子的亲友,用来在拍卖时买回一部分自己的产业,并赎回那些能低价收回的期票。核心是:他遇到财务困难,但没躲,而是主动出击,用巡演收入去赎回资产。做法很具体:先安排可信的人管好后方,再带上最有卖点的演员,明确赚钱目标,并规定钱的用途。这提醒我们,遇到危机时,先稳住后方,再集中资源去创收,并且提前想好钱怎么用。
