3) You're right. I was making 5 figures per month hardly working but I'm stupid for throwing away a site that made $6,000 per month with 200 times more effort.
So wait, running this alleged TGP was a full-time job for you? So you had all of this other stuff going on, bought this TGP, dropped what you were doing and worked on it full-time to get it up to $6k a month?

If you were not investing 40 hours a week of your time into it then you did not need a full-time employee and there are plenty of people that would invest 2 or 3 hours a day to make $1k a month. You don't need GFY to find someone to do that -- you only need a classified newspaper ad (back then) looking for someone that had basic computer skills and was comfortable with adult content.

And if you did drop everything to build up to a $6,000/mo. TGP only to drop it then any potential investor of yours should be cautioned that you may stop working on the new project if a shiny new acquisition comes across your desktop.

No matter how you slice it ... you are BSing or make very poor business decisions.

Adding a after every statement does not change this fact.
