Eve Hobsbawm from London is a life coach like no other — she's only eight years old. While most kids her age make money by selling cookies or doing chores, she solves everyday problems mostly for adults who need to see through the untainted eyes of a child. She even has a website —where she adorably calls herself Miss Evie Mouse — that advertises her consulting services.
The precocious young entrepreneur says her daddy, who runs a tech start-up, has inspired her to start her business. On her website, Eve warns potential clients that she can neither help them with their homework (especially math!) nor answer their existential conundrums. But she's definitely your girl when it comes to daily problems, and all for below $1.50 per question.
Back in December, when Eve was just seven years old, her first client asked her for advice about a really annoying husband. "It all cancels out," said Eve, who's obviously wise beyond her years. "You might do stuff to him that's also really annoying." The client was understandably very impressed. And since that may not be enough to convince you of Eve's exceptional problem-solving skills, a writer from The Guardian put Eve to the test by asking for her help to find his missing keys and for advice on what to serve for dinner with friends. The smart Miss Evie Mouse told him he'd find his keys in the hall (and he did), and to serve his friends spaghetti, which he realized later really was the easiest and most logical choice.

Hi Evie, we have a problem. There’s this really bad person who doesn’t like our country. I mean, we don’t know if he’s American yet he became p-resident. His wife spends our money like there’s no tomorrow then tells us we’re fat while she’s a fatso herself. How do we get rid of this evil person and his fat ass wife?
I see this youngster has the making of another "ISM", MouseISM, and in about 20 yrs she will have her own church and following. Wow, sounds familiar.
Miss Evie is just phenomenal, so very brilliant, maybe she can find J.Smiths plates. Smith only charge 75cents to find something, prices have not gone up much.
How bout we just have one "ISM" church, all would be ecstatic then. Don't you disparage my "ISM" faith. lol
LOL, you win!! Dang good one.....

Nothing at the site says how she is to be paid. Does one mail her a check?
This little girl is cashing in on having that most uncommon of traits: common sense.
She just answers questions based upon what she can easily see to be the correct answer. Without having the pre-purposed filters of modern life, she can give good, easy, simple advice and have it sound new.
It’s like asking your grandmother these questions without thinking her old fashioned, out of touch, or simple minded.
Good on Evie and a real sense of sadness for those who have deluded themselves so much that common sense sounds so strange to their ears.
Looks like the cost of Obamacare is going... UP!
