Publisher's Summary
The follow-up to his best-seller The War of Art, Turning Pro navigates the passage from the amateur life to a professional practice.
"You don't need to take a course or buy a product. All you have to do is change your mind." (Steven Pressfield, author)
Turning pro is free, but it's not easy. When we turn pro, we give up a life with which we may have become extremely comfortable. We give up a self we have come to identify with and to call our own.
Turning pro is free, but it demands sacrifice. The passage from amateur to professional is often achieved via an internal odyssey whose trials are survived only at great cost, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. We pass through a membrane when we turn pro. It's messy, and it's scary. We tread in blood when we turn pro.
What we get when we turn pro. What we get when we turn pro is we find our power. We find our will and our voice, and we find our self-respect. We become who we always were but had until then been afraid to embrace and live out.

If you finish listening again, listen to it again!
Ignore the random gender nouns of the book and absorb it's metaphors and you'll be on your way to turning pro.

A necessary Slap in the Face
I love this book zero BS, straight to the point and great information. I will come back and listen to it again to get more of this book.
Easy to understand and entertain. If you don't know why you can't be where you want, this honest book will tell you why.

Brilliant, punchy and practical
Steven doesn't waste words, like a good writer should. He gets to the point and doesn't mince his words to help with the important work of becoming Pro in our actions and mind to let the Self shine. Thank you Steven!

Such a powerful message
Although a fairly short work, Steven Pressfield gives such a powerful message to those who are ready to hear it. This work perfectly depicts the character traits of a person who is a professional in pursuit of their passion. If you have a passion this will most likely identify where you are falling short. If you don't have a passion, it will make no sense at all. So valuable.
