The Professional vs The Amatuer

The first step to making yourself a professional is to decide you ARE a professional.

Are you a professional?

1) A professional learns every aspect of the job. An amateur skips the learning process whenever possible.

2) A professional carefully discovers what is needed and wanted. An amateur assumes what others need and want.

3) A professional looks, speaks and dresses like a professional. An amateur is sloppy in appearance and speech.

4) A professional keeps his or her work area clean and orderly. An amateur has a messy, confused or dirty work area.

5) A professional is focused and clear-headed. An amateur is confused and distracted.

6) A professional does not let mistakes slide by. An amateur ignores or hides mistakes.

7) A professional jumps into difficult assignments. An amateur tries to get out of difficult work.

8) A professional completes projects as soon as possible. An amateur is surrounded by unfinished work piled on unfinished work.

9) A professional remains level-headed and optimistic. An amateur gets upset and assumes the worst.

10) A professional handles money and accounts very carefully. An amateur is sloppy with money or accounts.
