If you had to start over in the biz, could you succeed?

With just your knowledge; no (or little) money, no domains.

Hard to say. I know that luck has played a role in getting to where I am now. I'd certain be as dogged and relentless as I've always been, but there's people I know with superhuman work ethic that just plain ol' don't get the breaks and still end up slaving away for a pittance.

So... yes, I would. With a little luck.

Those that said yes, curious what do you think your chances of success vs. failure are percentage wise. Then also do you feel the same if you were not allowed to use any of the old contacts you have, just ones you make from the point you restart.

I just don't believe most of the "industry leaders," or a lot of the people who started pre 2000 could start today and make it to the same place they are now.

Things have changed so much since then. Not saying you can't be successful, but I think the landscape has changed so much that there would be a different group of millionaires etc.

I'm inclined to think the same way. However, your answer doesn't take into account one thing, aside from money and knowledge, that these people have. They have CONNECTIONS in the industry and that is one of the main reasons why many of them still are where they are and haven't been run over by fresh blood. YET.

That was my thought process and why I asked the question. Besides the increase in competition and all the other variables; rules and regs , etc., I am sure I could make a nice living, but in no way generate the profit as quickly as I did 4 years ago. Anyone saying otherwise is bullshiting. Yet there is still a very good open market for those of us that think out side the box.

I am taking that into account to a degree.

I think a lot of internet successes are people who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
