The Rule of the Garage Part 4: Professional
“PROFESSIONAL: Exudes self-confidence. Is willing to risk everything to make it. Passion and desire are almost equal to talent.”
If you use your skill or sell your product 3-4 times a week--so frequently it never sits is the garage--forget that, if you don't even have a garage & you’re doing this on the road, in a dive bar, with your friends, for crowds big & small, when no one is looking, & it's all you care about--you're a professional.
This is where you want to be.
Steven Pressfield has a great book called “Turning Pro”. There’s a moment when the excuses fade away, and you stop living your life as as amateur. In the military, there’s these explicit moments when it happens: Making the choice somewhere around 10 years to go for 20.
Civilians have to be professionals at both where they are & where they want to be. There’s a constant refinement. But there comes a day where being the best possible only gets us to a percentage of being the best civilian possible.
What's your choice?
