List at least three differences between a Professional and Amateur.
*

Explanation:

1. Amateurs wait to feel inspired. Professionals stick to a schedule.

Amateurs only work and practice when they feel motivated to do so.

They wait for inspiration, or permission from somebody else, to take action towards their goals—to exercise, to write more and so on.

Professionals don’t let their feelings dictate their actions.

They intentionally create and stick to a schedule come rain or shine.

2. Amateurs focus on goals. Professionals focus on habits.

Amateurs are obsessed with the outcome. They seek the instant gratification of quick results and look to ‘sprint’ to success.

They struggle with ‘resistance’ and procrastination because of their intense focus on the end result.

Professionals treat success like a marathon and not a sprint. They focus on developing the habits that will naturally help them to achieve their goals as a by-product.

3. Amateurs strive to achieve. Professionals strive to improve.

Just like a recreational runner preparing for a marathon, Amateurs strive for the achievement of finishing the marathon.

After the marathon, the recreational runner no longer strives to improve their running. The achievement has now been reached, so the incentive to stay consistent with practice is very little.

The professional understands that an achievement is simply an indication of how much they’ve improved.

They are focused on continuous growth and seek to find new ways to improve themselves.

4. Amateurs stall after failure. Professionals grow after failure.

Amateurs try to avoid failure at all costs. They fear criticism and worry too much about what people would think if they failed.

Amateurs give up when faced with adversity and tough challenges. They lack the mental toughness to push forward and succeed.

Professionals understand that failure is an inevitable and necessary part of growth.

They treat failure and criticism like a scientist—discarding the irrelevant information and using the relevant feedback to become better at what they do.

5. Amateurs live for opinions. Professionals live for the truth.

Amateurs are easily swayed by the opinions and ‘best practices’ of the majority of people in their field.

The basis of an Amateur’s decision-making is their belief that “I’m right because I believe I am.”

Professionals actively question widely held assumptions about how things should be done.

A professional’s decision-making process is based on objectivity, not opinions. This type of thinking prevents them from making bad decisions.
