€250 to €25k in 2018 - Motivation & Streaming ITT

Hey all, welcome to just another one of those challenges!
I'm not going to go into massive detail here but long time poker player who is fed up of luck not being fair (yawn). Every time I seem to move up to the higher stakes my ability to win flips seems to disappear, so I'm giving it another go, from the low stakes, to prove that BR challenges can be completed, and quickly.
I'm looking to grind from €250 to €25k in the remaining 7 months of this year. I play on Unibet, which is a good smaller site but has a fair few issues with software. I play here because I'm banned from Stars for playing underage 10 years ago and they still won't reverse that decision. I might mix it up and play some 888/Party at times but for now I'll be playing the HUSNGs and 5 man SNGs on Unibet.
I'll be adopting an aggressive BRM strategy because I believe that if you have the willingness to drop down when small shots don't go well then this is the most effective way of building a bankroll. For me, I believe that a 1 or 2 BI shot at a higher stake to what you normally play, if executed with discipline, can be hugely beneficial are you to run good. I'll likely be moving up out of the low stakes at 15-25 BI for some small shots, then increasing the BR needed at the medium/higher stakes.
I'm going to be streaming my progress as well (bear with me, I'm new to Twitch!), I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in watching but it'll good to have some vids to look back on I guess. Any feedback with regards to this would be appreciated.
I work full time so won't be on during the weekdays generally but I will be grinding as hard as possible outside of that, gf commitments aside (sick brag).
Time for some run good!

Great first day, was 4 tabling the 10s and decided to add in 1 table at the 25s for a small shot which went really well allowing me to add more 25s as the day went on. Ended up grinding until about 4am so I'm super tired today but have to go to a family BBQ later so going to put in a couple of hours at the 25s now.

Ended day 3 at €930 after not a massive amount of volume, played some 25s on the stream today which went alright but I was massively hungover this morning so volume wasn't great. I got just above €1k and decided I would take a 1 buy ins shot at the €100 HUSNGs. I love doing these because for a small risk you can make a lot providing you're disciplined and stop when you lose. I managed to win 9 before I lost the 10th, so a lovely €750ish profit boosting the bankroll nicely.
I'll likely go back to the 25s with maybe a few 50s thrown in tomorrow. 1 tabling the 100s is fun but it's not what the challenge is about, nor is it a good thing to do long-term.
Bankroll at €1,756.81!
