Kicking Myself…

The other day, I was thinking about a website that I used to run. It was an alumni site for my High School…it got a fair amount of traffic (not much), mostly from people who were interested in seeing who was doing what these days.
I also noticed that many of my users were also members of other alumni sites. Sites that charge money to allow you to keep up with your friends. *shudder*
Of course, that was a few years ago. And this is the part where I kick myself.
Why didn’t I monetize that site? It would have been a great idea. Unfortunately, I was a bit less intelligent in those days when it came to business.
Perhaps I shall have to revive that site. I’m wondering if my host allows multiple sites on my hosting plan? If not, I know some other inexpensive hosts who’s entry-level plans would do the trick for hosting that site. After all, it was a small school!
My question is this: have any of you had the misfortune of regretting a business decision you didn’t make (other than Google stocks or something like that…we all regret not getting into that)?
Do tell!

I hate regretting … so I don’t. You move on with new knowledge and make things better the next time around.
