If you were to start all over?

[noidea]

If you were in the position of restarting your IM business from scratch with the knowledge you have now what would you choose?. You can choose 3 BH tools from BHW, either free gratis (from kind donations to BHW) or from the tools being marketed by the members which 3 would you go for? and why

Subscribed because I really want to know the answer to this great question. I'm still in the beginning stage of this, waffling between whitehat and blackhat (thus the screen-name) so I can't say what I would choose, but I can say what I would NOT do. I should have gotten in on Blackhat University and gotten a copy of Cookie Stuffer, but instead I have wasted money on other paid memberships that did me no good. I also regret having started several high-maintenance long-term projects and purchased several domain names that are too particular and that have locked me into boring niches. Now I'm sticking with short projects that are easy to configure and purchasing generalized niche-related domain names that can be repurposed.

I should go back and revisit old threads more often. Realizing now that it will take a long time to grow out if the beginner/newb phase, I would have focused on Drupal instead of Wordpress and I would have found a niche/product/industry I liked instead of focusing on a method that seemed easy, as well as built up my technical skills more.
