Stop Acting Like You Have a Choice: Commit to Your Profession

Frazier shares a message he discussed with his group about choice and mindset, emphasizing that once you decide to treat your career as a real profession and run it like a business as the CEO, you must stop acting like you have the option to not show up, not be consistent, or not do the work required for success. While acknowledging human nature to resist feeling boxed in and noting there are always scenarios that require balance rather than extremes, he argues that commitment means doing what needs to be done and making a daily concerted effort to meet a personal standard, even if you don’t win every day. If you choose the profession, he urges choosing to do it well and in the best way possible.
