What Were You Doing 5 Years Ago?
Wow, we've grown by more than 50 members this week. Welcome to all of you who recently joined the Society. I thought it would be a great for us to get to know each other a little better. What were you doing 5 years ago vs. today? And how is your life different because of any changes you made intentionally or unintentionally? I was deep in corporate marketing with zero plan to leave. Now I run my portfolio businesses from my couch. Your turn.

Wow 5 years ago. I was writing my latest kids book. I was thinking about an online business. I was researching SoloBuildIt (SBI). I was struggling with the COVID isolation. I was busy. Id been retired since 2005. I’m 79 now. Save you doing the math, I was 59 when I sold my business went and lived in Italy for a couple of years. I traded currency and commodities. I developed trading strategies and systems. I was busy. I’ve always been an entrepreneur in some form. I love writing. This is why I’m here. I’m fit both physically and mentally and I do not feel 79 almost 80. BD next month. I have never taken things too seriously. I think I’ve gone on too long. So, thanks for all the effort you’ve put into this thread.

@Zoe G sorry I missed the comment. We lived in Santa Margherita. Ligure. Loved it. We’ve been back 3 times since 2007. The latest was last October. Still many friends there. A few have passed on. But the place is the same. There’s a good chance we will be there again.
Notes Reality Check
There’s no shortage of advice about how often to post Notes. But I’d rather hear from people actually using the platform. What’s your current Notes cadence? And have you noticed any difference when you post more often versus less often?

I feel so inadequate. I’ve been doing 1-2 notes a day. I’ve been picking up 1 sub about every 3 weeks. I suppose that indicates my deficiency. HELP.
