The difference between amateurs and professionals, is simply a matter of process and dedication. Do you have a side passion that you would love to spend more time on? What do you feel like life is getting in the way of it? Have you ever felt like you're waiting to find somebody that's your Realtree cooling or is that something that you've always loved that you want to be your main job one day but you're waiting for a certain amount of success first or something else before you finally get around to it. Today we're going to be talking about the difference between how much is a hobbyist buses professionals and how you can create your coolant instead of waiting for it to happen. Welcome to the growth mindset podcast are quite of the day today is going to be a bit of a long one, but it's going to get you fired up. Many growth minded. People didn't even plan to go to talk. I got that as a result of doing what they loved it. So ironic the top is where the fixed mindset. People hungry to be pleased. When many growth minded people survive as a byproduct of their enthusiasm, for what
They do, yes, what you do is really important and that is exactly what we're getting into today and how to make what you do, the things that you love.
Now let me start this correctly, I hate the whole, find your cooling stuff, because there is so much crap around it. It creates a full solution, the batteries, easy thing out back for you. That's going to be crazy. Enjoyable, you going to be crying with happiness, every single moment of your life. Nothing, you do will ever feel like we're up to you because it's bollocks. The worst part about this illusion is it that makes it sounds like we won't even need to work hard or take any risks to get there. It is. Simply a lie. I signed a contract means that you will show up a certain number of days a week for a certain number of hours. And this is your profession for a side project to give you any rewards, you have to show up at a fixed regular Commitment. If you're writing poke Austin, gardening music, you have to keep up the work to succeed in something. The commitment is no longer a question, you have to do it.
And it's actually mean, it's not that bad a forecast in. You have to work every day or even every week you could do seasons with long breaks in between or you can publish once a month. The schedule is up to you, but you have to commit to it. An egg's up. I really love from Seth Godin is creativity, is a result of desire to find a new truth. So of an old problem ourselves, a price that saves us from the property of our intentions Yukon always do much about how you feel, particularly when it's something important but you can always control your actions. Your work is too important to be left to how you feel today. If you can dish in yourself to work without flow, it's more likely to arrive the strategy you speak in your cooler. Create a very easy place for you to hide from doing the actual hard work. That is needed to create your cooling. It's only after we do the difficult work, that it becomes a cooling.
Only after we trust the process. Does it become my passion? Do you what you love is for amateurs. Love, what you do is for professionals.
Something I really want you to take away from the forecast is the words when I feel like it those words mean never. And whenever you hear yourself saying it or someone else saying it, I want you to hear that has a red flag to get some of this, just not enough of a priority. I don't have to get round to happening. So doing things when you feel like it without the pressure is a lovely idea in principle but be warned that time. Inevitably goes much faster than you expect when people stop taking music lessons compromise themselves, they'll still find time to play. I'll do it. When I get the time off, when I just feel like it's a years later, the instrument would like hardly touched the back of the room somewhere or in an attic and waiting for your fancy to take you somewhere. It's like waiting for mussels with him without going to the gym. It doesn't happen finding time. For something is not done for you. No one will find time for you if you are too busy this week. Next week, someone isn't going to magically created
I'm make you do the thing. You want to do, the only person that will do it? Is you everyone else in the world will be using was fine for something other than the thing you want to do. Say you have to ignore whatever the well to telling you to do that thing.
There is an example, I'll talk about my writing which has very much been a hobby for me for the last 7 months is something I really enjoy giving and this episode is actually based on an article in my newsletter and writing has been a retreat for me from the chaos of my ADHD. And many of them are things happening and it's been lovely, but I've already done it when I found the time and that's my newsletter, has some interesting statistics, so I published 15 blocks and I am I to be another 5. It didn't publish them because I might be possible series. However, I have 24 articles that are almost ready. I have $19 in progress, I have 22 in a basic outline. Then I have a 27 that we not started on another $29 that they need to have a status. And basically, I have over 130 articles, a different that was a finished, which role in the, it would be great to write.
Sometimes I think they're amazing ideas but they lie unloved in my notion and I would be a much wiser person and I be a more political person. If I was publishing them, the thing I struggle when is no one makes me do it or that recent submission date or no one will prioritize it for me, even my other work, but I have concluded that writing is something that shouldn't be. In my fun hobby pile, the reward to me, I personally really great but that just hasn't been enough for me yet to go and do it regularly unless I decide to make a real commitment and prioritize, this is part of my week, I have to treat it professionally. I'll never become a writer waiting for this to happen on the flip side. I am up ocosta, I've been doing this regularly, we can we count sometimes two episodes a week for five years, but I actually am now going in the other direction and maybe considering reducing the last episode perhaps, less than once a week. Because for the last 2 years
I've been depending on additives to help me get Quinton out that quickly, but the quality that they've been putting out in the episodes doesn't match what I want it to be because I think is a book cost that you were as good as your last episode. And I have a backlog of some episodes that I'm not proud of any more, which when I was editing myself did not happen and as manager is going to be my duty to make everything pretty pretty. I love crafting things to the level of Radiance, but it's not super easy and it going to take me to the time but I'd rather have it came out like every two weeks and reduce the Opera that I'm doing. But keep it true the professional because I feel like actually. I've had kids his now but it's felt more like a hobby because I haven't made it truly brilliant. So there's a mix of
How much you do something to keep it professional as well, as how regularly and how much salt goes into have good things that you're doing. So, when I started the forecast in the first year, it really would like crazy because I was editing everything and then because it goes to be a guy was make enough money to pay people to do it and it didn't make money. If I would have kept at the same level, it stopped it wasn't as brilliant as it could have been and not steady mind fold and so I'm not making a commitment to also become more professional as a broadcaster again because it's something I really love doing and I'd love to do it more and have the show grow again because it's been. Okay, I'm going to make it. I had messed my commitment to you. After this is say thank you for listening back to you making shit happen. Another bikes at from Seth Godin. Who is uprooting Raisa? Is this the easiest way to go through life is to let life go through you?
Give in to the prevailing winds and go along to get along. This requires very little effort because you're not working with intent. At least not your own intent. You are getting by sailboat. Go slowest when it's going down wind, that's because the sale acts, as a parachute in the boat, and go any faster than the wind behind it sailboats. However, to go across the wind. And if you wanted to say that, you might not realize this analogy, but boats me way faster when you go across the wind and if it going with the wind, they only move slower than the current wind speed in the point is we as people and you make a difference in the world. When we seek to make a difference, it doesn't happen by waiting for it. You spend all day hitting a bowl back. You'll never end up being the one 7. The Bull responding overreacting to incoming off. Becomes your everyday.
I want to sleep as you go through life, that would always be opportunities for things that you already nine 4. If you want opportunities for something else, you have to cut free and you have to do your own thing without anyone expecting that you will succeed, what kind of help you? You have to take the risks and make yourself, do the things you want to become name for and build the career, doing what you want. And following this advice, I'm having leading into it and I'm taking a complete break from any page work to do some of my other life goals. And this is Chet because of the recession and over my savings on
Betty with much sag life but I've been researching world records that I can try and break. And my goal is to take 3 to 6 months now and try and break at least for wild records and document the process and some of my ass to be hard. But my goal is to make a really fun documentary of each one and put them on to YouTube and show people that you can achieve silly or difficult things by pushing yourself and ultimately in life we get paid to do the things. If you have some credible experience in it and say I'm always going to find what you know. It's been so pissed off at UPS but that's not the way I want to be doing. So I'm making a hard stop to work on what I feel like is my cooling which is
Being outside doing slightly scary, ridiculous Adventures pushing my boundaries and only once I have a reputation for that, could I start getting paid to do these things and has no easy offer outfit for me, where someone will pay me to go and be another. But if I can create a reputation and experience for it, then I could find answers to give me my bike and spots on my nutrition and things to go in brake other world records and other stupid stuff that I failed. If I can create a community doing it, my life will be the thing. I want it to be safe.
That's what I'm doing. And I think anyone can have a lot of Dreams over things. They want to go and dig in the speed that anyone has ideas is astounding. I mean, remember how many blog ideas I came up with 130 in 7 months and that was any part time. So the point is you going to have to make a regular practice or even cut out some of the things in your life to make sure that you actually telling you dreams into action when your ideas become reality, otherwise, you're just going to be a dreamer. And what I want you to do a loan off this forecast is what things in your life in the hobbyist, dream a category and yeah she like to be more professional about. So for these things a specific question what do I need to watch? The do to become a doula and make these things around? T, what do I need to stop doing to prioritize? This ain't like a change of scenery or changing my schedule. Make it easier for me and
What can I register you? Commit to going forwards, passed me. I will always be a dreamer. Like this is part of my nature but I'm really trying to nudge more of my dreams into reality. One of the reasons I thought this book cost and this episode is my nuts to you to help you go and make your dreams happen, if you want to do something that just seems unrealistic business difficult. If you think it is, it's just going to take dedication and time to let it go and do it. Good luck. You're awesome. Never forget that. Now make a process. Take yourself seriously. And then others will take you seriously. Olce.
