Started a 16-week bulk in January. Halfway through.
The plan was to track macros, train consistently, see what happens. What I didn't expect was how structuring one part of my life would affect everything else.
The gym became the anchor. When FIFA work gets chaotic, training stays constant. When NYC winter makes it easy to hibernate, it forces me out. When Contra projects come in, I have the energy to execute.
Results: +7-8 lbs, lifts up, better sleep, sharper at work. But the bigger thing is feeling more in control of my time, focus, ability to follow through. The discipline from tracking nutrition bleeds into managing projects and showing up for clients.
If you're freelancing and things feels scattered, find one thing you can control, it really does make everything else manageable.
8 weeks to go.

Most freelancers try to earn more by working more. But what if the key was in working even less? 👀
I started treating my Contra profile like a product: I published projects strategically to attract dream clients, applied selectively to stay visible, and invited past clients onto the platform to centralize everything.
Last but not least, Digital Products are the ones that made me work less 😏 to have a passive income possibility.
Of course, nothing dramatic happened overnight. But visibility grew, better clients came in and income grew without adding more hours.
The shift was simple: stop selling time, start building assets.
If you had to increase your earnings without working more hours, what would you build first?
Great to look back on these workshops a few months ago! 🚀
It was a truly inspiring experience - full of collaboration, energy, and real Kaizen in practice. I’m glad I had the opportunity to conduct this workshop in Viscon Group and work together on continuous improvement.
