Mindset
I do exactly what I want if I was 70 with a functioning brain I would do my version of this and so I I was kind of said to myself like oh my God I am this is freedom right and these people have a lot... it's like when you find out what your enough is that's a cheat code

Define your "enough" — it's the cheat code that ends the chase

Founders chasing the next promotion, the next exit, the next bigger SaaS often don't realize they've already passed their actual "enough." Write down concretely what your enough looks like — daily routine, monthly income floor, geography, family time, work hours. The moment you can't describe a "better" version of your life (more money wouldn't change anything), you've found it. That answer ends the perpetual chase faster than any productivity hack.
