The Mental Switch That Separates Pros From Amateurs

About this video

Steven Pressfield describes flipping a mental switch from amateur to professional thinking. He says a professional shows up every day, stays on the job, does not take success or failure personally, and works regardless of how they feel, while an amateur folds at adversity. The switch, he stresses, costs nothing and needs no course or certification.

Key takeaways

• Pressfield contrasts professionals, who show up daily regardless of feelings, with amateurs, who fold at adversity.
• Pressfield says turning pro is a mental switch that costs nothing and needs no certification.
