The Failed Business
Your brother quit his job to start a restaurant. You lent him twenty thousand dollars to get it off the ground. It has been two years. The restaurant is failing. He asks you for another ten thousand to keep the doors open for one more month.
Do you write the second cheque?
Then ask
- When do you tell him it is time to quit?
- How much money would you lose before you cut off your own family?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
