How to Become a Pro
Going about your work like a pro isn’t easy, but it’s also not as complicated or
difficult as you might think. There are three steps.
1. Decide what you want to be good at.
Purpose is everything. If you know what you want, then getting it is much
easier. This sounds simple, but in my experience even people who are smart,
creative, and talented rarely know exactly what they are working for and why.
2. Set a schedule for your actions.
Once you know what you want, set a schedule for actually doing it.
Note: Don’t make the same mistake I have made, which is setting a schedule
based on results. Don’t map out how much weight you want to lose each week
or how much money you want to make. “Lose 5 pounds” is not an action you
can perform. “Do three sets of squats” is an action you can perform.
You want to set a schedule based on actions you can do, not results that you
want.
