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.

started sooner

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.

Never got involved with TGP's :(

there are a few people I would never have trusted in friendship that haunts me today

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 always have the same answer. wish i'd scaled my sites and traffic up much earlier than i did. would have made millions more, easily.

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.

Contracts...gotta draw up contracts when going into partnerships.

That's all I'm gonna say. Still bitter :mad:

Would have spent less time helping others get started and done it for myself.

seo seo seo. did more then galleries when I started.

hahahhah I would have opened the program I have laid out years ago I am gonna change that soon just working on aquiring the funding still

I would have found out about this industry way sooner than I did. I would like to have had a head start LOL

telling that one guy where to find "Blacks on Blondes" content.

I would of started selling content back in 1996 more than I was.

Missed a great opportunity.

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.

Nobility rules! :pimp

I wouldn't change a thing.

I probably would have worked more back then and had a team of evil helper monkeys today.

Looking back, I think I change my answer. Every mistake is a stepping stone towards success. Great answer, mate! :thumbsup

I would have gone out on my own earlier

I would have started posting the day GFY opened and would have like 100k posts by now:)

never used ibill

Not been such a slacker the last 1.5-2 years.

Done more early but I can only work so hard.

if it wasn't because of those problems, I wouldn't learn anyway.
