Will,First of all I applaud you for being self-aware and introspective enough to ask these questions and accept the responses.

It was a truly humbling and introspective first year.

@Luis MartinI'd also do a little introspection.

Great introspective!

(Are you really great at design, or communication, or finding fresh deals)A bit of introspection can go a long way when starting this kind of business activity, I hope this gave you some insight and how you should approach this!

We all know those "Spotify Year in Review" infographics; in a year full of pivoting and introspection, I allocated the most time to podcasts!

Over the last couple of months with research and introspection, I've decided to move forward with investing.

Look at all my resources and then let that help guide your decision.I put a lot of time and energy into this sort of introspection and often encourage others to do the same as it will help guide you.

Take whatever small amount of training you receive from your $8K course and then do some self-introspection.

I would also do some introspection to better understand why you are willing to operate outside your lease when that is the document that protects you as the landlord.
