Turning Pro

Author: Steven Pressfield

Pressfield’s “Turning Pro” is a raw, honest kick in the pants for creatives. Drawing from his own struggles, he dissects the mindset shift from amateur to professional with unflinching clarity. It’s not about talent, but showing up daily, battling resistance, and doing the work. His no-nonsense approach might sting, but it’s the tough love many artists need. I found myself nodding along, recognizing my own excuses. It’s a quick read that lingers long after, challenging you to step up and own your craft.

The amateur tweets. The pro works.
