When my sibling called & said he needed help opening his Heating & Air Conditioning corporation, I thought he meant he needed help with the paperwork & bank, but i worked in a bank & I was used to doing the paperwork for new businesses.
I could get him prepared for the loan officer, & have everything ready when he went into the office, and many corporations were closed before they opened, because they weren’t prepared.
I told him I would be thrilled to help & told him where both of us should start first, however he told me he didn’t need my corporation proficiency, even though he needed currency. I wasn’t going to give him currency unless I had a stake in the business. He told me I could call it a loan, even though he needed currency just to get the preliminaries started. I asked him if he wanted a corporation partner, & he laughed, and when he told me what a great Heating & Air Conditioning contractor he was, & that was all I needed, I told him he didn’t need me & hung up. It took nearly an hour before my sibling called back. He explained that he didn’t need help with the Heating & Air Conditioning corporation, but with the startup. I told him I could help with the startup, even though I wasn’t giving him currency unless he made me a corporation partner. This time he hung up. I wasn’t going to call him back & when he called me again, he asked why I didn’t. I told him he needed me & I didn’t need him. He whined & told me that was how the game was played. He needed me, even though I was supposed to play the game with him.
