    If you could change 1 thing that you've done biz wise, what would it be?

    I'd definitly have kept a couple sites that I have sold in the past. I was young and dumb, but I've learned and I won't undersell anything Internet related ever again!

    What about you? Is there something that you wish that you hadn't done?

    Taking a business partner. It's kinda like getting married, but in the end, he tries to fuck you without foreplay.

        We should not have believed all the bullshit that came out of jaYMans mouth when talking to him before we launched Arika's site on our own. Would have saved at least a couple of months on our part and a ton of content.

          Listened to all of the SEO babble as soon as I got in the biz in 2000...

          But now that I think about it...It seemed a lot more complicated than the actual techniques of basic SEO these days.

                I wish I never would have spent so much time working for other people. A friend of mine always rode my ass about building my own sites and traffic. Once I started, things sure got better.

                    I also would have NEVER told my now ex-wife where to find my shit. That alone would have saved me thousands of dollars and a lot of grief.

                                    i wish i had never left the industry for 2 yrs.
                                    its hard enough re-learning old skills, but it was even harder to learn what i missed out on & get caught up to the present.

                                      I got lucky early and fast so I was fortunate to some degree. My main mistake is hoarding money. If I would have shelled out 75-100 k earlier on certain things I would have had a more diverse portfolio. Overall I cant complain.
                                      Ohh, using I bill.. That was a blunder. But paying out on it was one of the noblest things I've done as a person.

                                                          if it wasn't because of those problems, I wouldn't learn anyway.
                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
