I really enjoyed being a Blue belt. Purple, not so fun.
All I can tell you is experiment. Expose yourself to as many techniques as possible. Play with Spider, Butterfly, Lasso, DLR, RDLR, Lapel Guard, Deep Half, Mount attacks, Side Control attacks, the thousand of lapel chokes, Takedowns, Open guard passing, Pressure passing. Think about what comes next. Start working your transitions from one technique to the next to the next.
Collect techniques like you're collecting Pokemon cards. If you compete, sharpen your "Go To" moves. Your time here will be about 2 to 4 years depending on how much you train, if you compete and most importantly your Coach.
Once you get to Purple you'll focus on sharpening the techniques you favor the most. This is really when your game coalesces.
Most importantly, don't forget to have FUN! Enjoy your rolls.
