I did. weird confluence of events. had a 'side' adult biz that was growing way too large for me and stressing me out which impacted me mentally and thus physically cuz 24/7 pressure. so I sold it

at the same time, schools in my neighbourhood were closed due to covid so I spent time playing and reading and doing math puzzles with kids down at the local fisher beach

the owner of the (very small but lucrative) fishing biz there died due to covid and his wife wanted to sell. I used the cash from the so-called side biz that was taking over my life to purchase it. and became the vegan owner of a fishing biz

I kept my own online adult stuff, that is mine

offline wasn't bringing in much cuz no tourists but locals could feed their fams and sell in their communities. but I had my own stuff in adult to cover the deficit in my investment

I took a gamble that tourism would come back, created a new biz plan focused on sustainability, bought some new equipment for the guys and when the restrictions on travel were lifted we hit the ground running

the higher end hotels love us, their guests so pleased not feeling guilty eating fish even though we charge more. as someone who has studied tourists in various nations I know how to work it. and I'm 'sooo articulate' when dealing with the contract discussions

always keep a small portion of quota for the dudes who do the work to eat/sell

instead of dealing with performers* and fighting rare cb's which were often quite large as my site had large payments as the norm and the clients usually paid me back as their bank did reversals on the 5th or 7th of a 1-2k payment without their consent or knowledge

didn't happen often, but it happened. totally legit payments, clients anxious to fix it. cammers stressed. what fun!

I adored the vast majority of the performers I worked with, a small handful were hell on wheels participating in fraud

*one I axed for treating me poorly actually ended up on a 2nd degree murder conviction for stabbing her partner to death-not the OF chica. I was not surprised when I was told about that


half of starting/running a biz is being cogent and strategizing. do that first and drop the bottle. real talk. THEN decide what you want you want to do

I do not want in any way to disrespect the larger ladies but I picture a street full of women in 1980's spandex. not sure if I am turned on by this or not. I think I am
