I’ll be honest with you—I felt like phoning it in with the podcast this week. It’s hot and I’m tired, and I just didn’t want to sit down and make it happen. But in the back of my mind, I kept thinking about a concept from Steven Pressfield’s book Turning Pro, were Pressfield discusses three models of self-transformation, the most powerful of which he calls the professional model, aka “turning pro.” Amateurs dabble and wait for inspiration, but pros show up no matter what. They push through discomfort, build consistency, and rely on internal standards, not external validation. Turning pro is about creating habits, keeping promises to yourself, and committing to something bigger. It’s about discovering your true power and self-respect. Me? I want to be a professional, so even when I didn’t feel like showing up, I did it anyways.
