At a luncheon after one of the board meetings, one of the other directors takes him aside and says, "Joel, here's a great opportunity. Some people I know are going to build a hotel by the river. Why don't you get in on it early with us? We can do very well." In a second scenario, one that Joel would have been wiser to follow, he responds differently when he's approached to invest in the new hotel. He says, "Thanks a lot for inviting me. Do you mind if I share the opportunity with my brothers and sisters? We'll go in together - to whatever extent each wants to.
