And the best advice you didn't take?

When I had my used car dealers license and I didn't trade cars for pot. Had a real good connection.

I had a stock tip on a company called Aironet in '99 that I passed up because I was too lazy to learn how to buy a stock (I was 21).

If I'd put the $1000 into it I had to invest and held on to it for one year, I would've made over $3 million. Cisco bought the company and the stock became Cisco stock 1-1, went from 6 or 7 dollars to $140something and then split 3 times.

Every time I think of it, I just want to scream.

When the .net domains came out they went live at midnight and within seconds I had bank.net, poker.net, casino.net, pussy.net, girls.net and over 100 other good ones and didn't pay the bill when it came so I lost them !
