How to become a professional?

It is not easy to become a professional, but it is not unattainable either. Here are three steps that will help in this.

1
Decide what you want to be a professional
The goal is everything. If you know what you want, then it's much easier to get. It sounds trite, but even smart, creative and talented people rarely know what they're working for and why. If the goal is there, you will use all available ways (and even obstacles) to come to it.

2
Set the schedule
When you know what you want, set the schedule for the actual execution. Note: do not make the mistake of concentrating on the results. Instead of "lose 5 kilograms", it is better to decide when you will be running and going to the gym.

3
Stick to your schedule for one week
Stop thinking about how hard it will be to follow the schedule for a month or a year. Just follow the schedule this week. Do not let yourself be distracted for the next 7 days. At the end of the week, do not schedule the following.
