Good luck with your goal. I hope you'll make a lot of money from poker. I think setting high goals is the way to go.
But if I could give you one piece of advice, it is to not sacrifice your sleep for things like poker, at least not until you reach high stakes.
Also, I feel like New Year is a very arbitrary date. It shouldn't make any difference whether it's a new year or the middle of the year; if you have the internal drive to reach high stakes, you'll do it. If you have short-lived motivation because of some arbitrary date, I think it will be one or two weeks before that motivation is exhausted.
And on the topic of goals and motivation, I would recommend reading this book: *Black and White: The Way I See It* by Richard Williams. Richard Williams is the father of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, who are considered two of the best tennis players of all time.
Thanks!! I actually meant that I don't naturally need that much sleep, 5 to 6 hours per night is enough for me and I don't feel tired after that. You're definitely right with the new year thing. I just felt like this is the right time for me to try get this shit little bit more professional, so I decided to make this some kind of new year resolution.. lol
also thanks for the book recommendation, gonna add it to the list. I actually really love to read, just finished walter isaacson's book about elon musk. everybody who is interested in us politics, tesla, etc. should read that and see how elon has changed :-)
