Notes

Ambition is the most sacred of our being. Not to act upon that ambition is to turn our backs on ourselves and the reason for our own existence

The difference between the amateur and professional is in their habits. An amateur has amateur habits. A professional has professional habits.

The pain of being known is we’re all angels imprisoned in the vessels of flesh

Fear is the primary colour of the amateur’s interior world

The amateur has a long list of fear, near the top are two - solitude and silence

The amateur gives his power away to others

When we turn pro, we stop running from our fears. We turn around and face them

The amateur tweets, the pro works

The professional does not wait for inspiration

You have the right ot your labour but not the facets of your labour

The enterprise is all about the audience but you are also that audience
