#mindset

Career gaps get explained.
Side projects get listed.
Courses get name-dropped.

None of that matters.

The gap isn't the problem.
Stopping is.

Accountability sounds like a corporate value.

Really it means:
No one else to point at.
No process to hide behind.
No approval to wait for.

Just you and the work.

1mb isn't about being solo.

Plenty of one-man-bands work inside teams of 50.

They just operate differently.

Own the outcome, not just the task.
Ship without waiting for the green light.
Fix what breaks. No finger-pointing.

The team size doesn't matter.
The stance does.
