This is the year to finally turn pro! I’m going to share what it takes to go pro and tips from “Turning Pro: Tap Your Inner Power and Create Your Life’s Work” by Steven Pressfield.
Steven is also the author of “The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles” which I highly recommend.
In his book “Turning Pro” he explains the difference between an amateur and a professional, this can be for anything in your life or business.
An amateur is living as their shadow self or persona, in their comfort zone, predictable, using excuses, procrastination, and self-sabotage to not go after their dreams.
A pro is their true authentic self, stepping into their own power, moving past fear and resistance, and living the life they want and not settling for less.
I love this quote from the book, “The sure sign of an amateur is he has a million plans and they all start tomorrow.”
To go pro you have to make the decision, it take courage, a plan of action, goals, less distractions, more commitment and holding yourself accountable. It also takes work.
So going into this new year, will you stay as an amateur or will you go pro?
Tell me in the comments, what you’re working on this year?
