The Professional vs The Amateur

The difference between the professional and the amateur is income. Well, maybe not exactly, but it's a great way to tell if you are on top of your game. Think major league vs minor league! It is very rare for an amateur earn a professional income. If you expect to earn a professional income, you must make a professional effort! Here are some of the differences between the pro and the amateur:

  • Long Term vs Short Term Mindset
  • Commitment vs Conditional Commitment
  • Increasing Skill Set vs Lack of Skill
  • Belief vs Lack of Belief
  • Coach-able vs Unteachable
  • Focused on the positive vs Focus in the wrong place
  • Doing whatever it takes vs Not doing the work

The great thing about becoming a professional is that there is no way you can grow professionally without growing personally. In our businesses, as we grow personally, our income follows!


Looking forward to your success!
