lol my experience as well last winter. Really shut out all the noise and went on grind mode with SB, and at the time was doing the best I had done (in the online space) financially.
Wasn’t exactly fun, but showed me what’s possible when you lock in for 6 months, stick to a sub, and hustle.
Doing pretty much the same thing this year, although my approach is a bit more balanced as I put myself in a better financial position and opportunity I allow myself to have a bit of freedom on the weekends.
May start to make this a new pattern, 6-9 months all out grind mind, followed by letting loose and living life in the summer.
