I was happy when my brother became an HVAC professional, but I didn’t expect him to come to me for financial support.
He basically begged me to provide a certain amount of cash he needed for startup costs and he said it would be like me purchasing 10% of his company.
He said with me as an investor, I could make a great deal of money when his HVAC business became successful. I thought about it for a little while and realized that my brother had never done me wrong in our adult years. Sure when we were youngsters, we would fight over stupid things, but nothign serious. So I trusted him and made the investment in his company. He was so delighted and said that I wouldn’t regret it. I hoped so because I invested a lot of money! Well, business was very slow at first. I encouraged him to work on a website and maybe work along with an online marketing company. He thought that was a great idea and once he was able to do that, his business started growing fast. Suddenly, their telephones were ringing off the hook and my brother needed to hire more HVAC professionals. Now, my brother owns multiple HVAC shops across the state and it’s a properly run business. I mean, I knew that he would likely do well since he had a business degree on top of his HVAC qualification, but it was hard to part with all that money back then. Now, I’ve made a huge amount of profit thanks to the success of his business!
