We all make them and those who say they don't are kidding themselves. Over the last 20 years I've missed a few.

When I was trying to stop people stealing my content from magazines, I did not realise the thieves could not find content to buy and would be excellent clients. When I put up a paysite years ago I did not look for people who to partner with. Then when I put up the content store I was slow to put up a paysite. Now I'm digitizing all the content I have from the 1990s and it seems to be going down a treat with customers.

Too many missed opportunities, what is the next one I will miss and what ones are we all missing?

Once got an offer of a JV to produce the full stop.
Never bothered though 'cause I thought it would never catch on.

I knew a guy who 15 years ago or longer was telling me to buy domains. He bought a lot. He's now retired and I'm sitting here spamming on B&B. :oldman:

Another missed opportunity.

The biggest one I did not miss out on was Eva. Even though I thought it was a big mistake. LOL
