I should have clarified -- I was younger at the time, so I'm not talking about "startups", hiring a mass amount of people, getting funding. I'm talking about building a website to fill a niche that is now massively popular, or pursuing advertising or other ways to make money besides trying to buy an office building and a lot of employees. I ALREADY had the pieces in place, I had connections to get things done (not like "oh I have connections", im just saying for being a young lad I knew a lot of people that would help me that knew what they were doing). Thinking back I actually impress my current day self with what I did. I already had the knowledge, I already had 90% of what I needed, I even had a successful starting place with a successful site... instead I dicked around with 3d models instead of putting my mind into media buying or ANYTHING having to do with making money. It just didnt OCCUR to me that yes, you could be making money right now. I suppose as a concrete example -- I didnt start doing online advertising until about 3 years ago, where my best days were $4k profit per day for about over a month straight. Ive had other similar campaigns. This is going from zero experience to a year or two of trying different things. Its MUCH harder now then it was back then, and I know beyond all reasonable doubt I would be sitting on a lot larger bankroll had I played things differently 10 years ago.
