A close friend sent me a message a while ago.

“I need to talk to you.”
​
My heart sank.
​
I wondered if he was in trouble.
​
So, I called him.

“Kabir, I need to borrow $400k to buy a boat.

I need it in the next 48 hours, or I’m going to miss this chance of a lifetime.”
​
😮
​
I didn’t know what to do.
​
First, who has this kind of money let alone liquid?
​
Second, if I tell him no or that he’s in the throes of an emotional financial decision, he may resent me.
​
​So, this is what I did​
​​
Try the same thing when you don’t know what to do.
