  • @harryireland1935

    I appreciate your honesty. Considering your very very isolated niche of influencer/social media content creator I'd say you need to prepare for a seachange. The era of free money, artificially (and fraudulent) low interestrates and insanely corrupt monetary policies is over. It's dying if not dead already and it's visible in social unrest, ever increasing wars, conflicts, deteriorating social cohesion, unsustainable levels of debt and even greater distrust in government, journalism and institutions that are captured by activists. It all ties together and I truly believe at some point, something will break in the realm of social media. The model based on ad-revenue isn't sustainable. Neither is the subscription-model. It's been a hell of a decade, but prepare for massive adjustments. Best of luck.

I've bought some shorts and a great Tee just to see quality & if they fit a lesser muscled specimen like me (LOL) as good as they look online ...and they are superb, so I'll definately be back.

    After 15 years of being a solo entrepreneur, I really miss having colleagues. It's quite boring to work alone from home for 15 years. So the truth is I had way more fun and a much better social life when I was employed. The only positive now is I have total freedom and I don't have to work so much as my business for the most runs on autopilot. But not sure I would have chosen this path if I could go back in time.
