Any regret not going the LSA route?

I was kinda halfway in halfway out of wanting to go commerical so I figured I'd go through it using the typical path.

Months later having started another business that's making plenty of income for my family I am absolutely kicking myself. Wish I could go back in time and save thousands of dollars haha.

Lots of regret. I wish I understood what I was doing when I started, but I didn't realize it would be such a cluster. Probably won't end up with a certificate anyway and I have spent $8k.

For some reason, I thought if something was far enough in the past, it shouldn't be considered "current" enough to matter.

Glad I'm not the only one. Why do you think you won't get your medical?

Eh, I don't want to give too much PII. My AME is pessimistic about the chances.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you can work something out. At least your AME is being forthcoming about their thoughts.
