Indeed, times have changed. That site making $6k a month that you killed would have been enough for you to get your new project off the ground without a financial partner.
20/20 hindsight, eh?

I run a couple of offline businesses that I've been expanding for 2 years during a downturn in the economy. I have a partner in those businesses and all 'extra' money we get goes right back into growing them further. Myself, I just get a little old weekly draw that I use to take care of my family and my own life. I had a decent pile of money stockpiled but I have a couple of family members with serious health problems that I'm helping out and I'm not in the mood to tap into that either.
As for the post you referenced, I was purposefully vague but you've misunderstood what I was saying. I do have a mainstream business (not just a site) that I am in the process of getting off the ground. It is going up no matter what, I don't
need anything. It would however benefit from a few ($x,xxx to $xx,xxx not $1,000) for design, coding, initial promotion, etc. It's not necessary but it would make my life easier. Besides, I like working with others. The internet is a boring place when you're plugging along by yourself and I actually hate it at this point.
In short, I would happily share this business with an interested party but it's not required. Once they see it, they'll shit bricks.
Cheers
