As it's against the law. Well, I tried this thing for the last 2 weeks. With a twist. I disconnected from everything. Emails? 260+ It's ok. Messages? A bunch. It's ok. Writing and publishing? Zero. And that's ok. Putting...
Till December to think of new prices? Till the end of the year for new year resolutions? Till December to new ways to approach the market? Why wait? Entertain this idea: Think of all and more of the things you do at the end of the year and move them up to October. Or that you'll review them 2 years from now. Your decision-making changes, because your perspective does. Shift your perspective, gran the timing. The won't ever be the perfect, right time where all conditions are certain.
