Got my purple belt, what now?

M30 (moved gyms because of military move) been training since 2023, got my purple belt about 4 months ago. Developed a game and started coaching both on base and at the local gym in town. What is next? I’ve been reading jiu jitsu books and talking to upper belts, the advice I’m getting is varying wildly. Keep developing the game? Develop more diverse game? Work on my weaknesses? Only teach what I’m good at? Teach all positions? I talked to my professor before I left and he said “just be in love with jiu jitsu and the moves will find you.”

Obviously a lot, but I’m just a guy who loves jiu jitsu and wants to see it to the end and hopefully do it for as long as I can. Thanks for the help!
