I was hoping to read more solid examples of what someone would do differently, or handle situations differently as they happen, if they knew THEN what everyone knows NOW.
One thing that I wish others would do, but they will not, is attack the ideas of someone and not the person. I know that is something that I wished for a very long time ago (on these boards and in real life) and sometimes, I'm guilty of not following that advice as well.
But I find it, personally, insulting to read of someone receiving snide remarks and insinuating that someone is drinking while posting, etc. It's rude. And doesn't accomplish anything.
With that being said, I wish that I had started this business and just started with a bang. Instead, I was SO nervous when I started, I would say no to nearly every guy who called for an appointment unless he jumped through several hoops.
If I could do it over again, I would be more open to the possibilities of having a more exclusive arrangement, which I wasn't until the past few years.
And I would have been more active in trying to achieve certain goals with regard to decriminalization, etc.
I would have also kept some paperwork. I have NEVER kept records, nor phone numbers, nor e-mail addresses. And although that follows what some might consider, from the Harlotry Handbook (lol), to be the right thing to do ... I wish that I had kept SOME notes.
Too late to change that now. But it might have been fun while writing my memoirs.
I've probably forgotten more crazy shit that has happened, over the years, than I remember.
