The professional is the one who knows how to do his job when nobody is looking.

Hey 👋 Creator!
I always thought the saying "how you do one thing is how you do everything" was a load of crap. But damn, was I wrong 🙄
Imagine this:
You started your creative freelance business and grabed all that expensive and professional gear. You know your craft. You're good at it.
But your homeoffice (or your studio) is a hot mess.
It's all chaotic and dirty. Your hard drives be laying around. Your Post-its be all up on the screen. And don't even get me started on that dirty coffee mug that ain't been washed in weeks.
Your digital space is even worse. When you open your shiny new MacBook Pro, you can't see your desktop background - it's all cluttered up with folders, files, and images.
And you? You're wearing those old trousers and a dirty shirt that ain't smelling the best way. And your hair? Well, since you ain't got no meetings today, who's gonna see it, right? So who gives a damn? You just wanna work and edit your footage.
But here is the question: Do you feel professional or cozy in a setup like this?
I bet it’s cozy, but never professional.
And what do you think, when are you more productive? In a setup above? Or wenn everything is clean and on point?
Look: How you see yourself is how others see you, too. How you do one thing is how you do everything. It’s a habit you take from one area to another. If your space around you is a mess - your digital space ends up messy over time, too. If your digital space is a mess - your work becomes chaotic over the years.
If you want to get professional results, you gotta start acting like a pro. And not just in your work, but in every aspect of your life - how you look, how you dress, your brand, your health, your habits.
Here is my personal little list on how to get pro in your creative life:
- Make it to your manifest: To get professional results, you gotta start acting like a pro in every aspect of your life, not just in your business.
- Dress the part: Dressing like a pro can have a real impact on how you see yourself and how others see you. It can boost your confidence and boosted confidence make people respect you.
- Improve at everything: Bettering yourself should cover all areas of your life - your health, relationships, money, and habits. Don't just focus on your craft or skill.
- Show up and take charge: Pros are committed and disciplined. They consistently show up, own their work, and take the initiative to make things happen.
- Respect yourself: Treating yourself right is key. Set boundaries, value your time and energy, and prioritize self-care.
- Embrace discomfort: Pros know that growth happens outside the comfort zone. Embrace challenges, push through resistance, and be willing to take risks.
- Be proactive, not reactive: Instead of whining or waiting for opportunities to come your way, take proactive steps to create your own chances. Take control of your career and actively seek growth.
Step up your style game, show up early, stop complaining, take charge, and give yourself some damn respect. Be a pro in everything you do, 'cause how you handle one thing is how you handle it all.
