I think I'd probably be pretty good at management and marketing. Back in the day, I was involved in organizing and promoting most of the original music events in town, and sort of did some half-assed A&R. My day job for years has been customer service, so I have strong professional communications skills.
But I hate everything to do with trying to schmooze and sell things. Like even trying to get my band booked for gigs, or trying to convince other folks to come record at my place. I'll make things. I'll help you make things. I don't care to try to sell it at all. Just throw it over my shoulder and move on.
I put my stuff on the internet so that I can get to it whenever I want from wherever I am.
I can remember sitting around in 95 fantasizing about having a "Virtual Studio". That was right around the time that Steinberg coopted the term (VSTechnology). We're not quite to the Virtual Reality game that I had envisioned back then, but we're really darn close.
