My 24 year, 1000 businesses analysis...CONCLUSION.

[GordonJ]

Tried the nudist thing, didn't like the smirks and giggles; went the opposite...where we wore 3 outfits at a time...decided balance and some modesty suited me just fine.

Knowing what I know today...what would I do?

Well.

THINK things over.

And here is THE thing, I would attempt to do what SUITED me, so what I might say I would do, is going to be a lot different from anyone...it is a futile exercise, however, being MR. FUTILE, 1992, and losing that title to perennial title holder, Mr. D. Trump, it won't stop me from mouthing off (see, I do have some things in common).

What I do know is this: WORK should be meaningful. I mean, if one has to work, why not make it both enjoyable and purposeful, eh?

The most deplorable people I've met in the last 50 years were mostly nepos who didn't have to work...the saying, idle hands are the devil's tools...seems to fit these folks.

But as to the slop and mess of it all; I would have much earlier established a proprietary business, one that was not replicable because of that proprietary position...and built off of that.

One size does not fit all.

So, knowing what I know today, I would spend time to THINK about what my real goals would be, WHY? and then about a Plan Of Action to fulfill those, knowing they are only a rest stop on the journey.

For me, I would have started a publishing company much earlier and developed proprietary products only available from me.

How about you all?

I hope you tell us soon... Otherwise I'm going to throw in the towel (literally) and get a job on a nudist cruise ship!

Best wishes!

P.S. I'm kidding... I'm keeping the towel on...

P.P.S. Jokes aside, I can't wait to hear it!
