I don't think you need advice. When you are starting out, advice is to help in filling in the gaps in knowledge and lack of experience. You have been running your networks for a while now. You are hands on. You know what you are doing. All you need is data and let that data lead you where it leads. I think the only thing that really matters is in measuring everything well and understanding what comes back.

Paul Markham can talk for 100 years about a great photograph and still has no clue what potential customers are looking for, what they want to pay for, what they won't pay for, why, how to sell that product or how to keep them active members for 1 year. I think most peoples advice is like that. All a reflection of their narrow experience and biases and given within the context of that experience and rarely applicable to your own.

At some point, you become the expert you turn to. You should be the expert in your business, in your business model, in your goals and objectives and how each little part of your own business works with each other little part. No one else should be able to tell you much about how to improve your business as they are either incapable of seeing or ignorant of the whole. You have all your plans, your goals, your ambitions and you have 1000 tiny little moving pieces to a massive puzzle you are building. No one see's it all and how the pieces do or should fit together, better than you.
