If you are a professional t-ball player you get to call yourself a professional.
But you are very different from a professional baseball player.
Tis true, the professional t-ball player and the professional baseball player are both professional, and they walk and talk and breathe and work as such. They both hit a round ball with a bat and run bases and catch pop-ups.
But they are not the same.
A pro baseball player has the capacity to play pro t-ball, but will always choose not to because professional baseball is where all the t-ball players aspire to be. It’s the more mature, precise, direct version of the game.
A pro t-ball player does not have the capacity to play pro baseball (yet), even though he carries the tag of “professional”.
So obviously the word “professional” does not mean the same thing for everyone, and it certainly does not mean the same thing for everyone in the music business.
Some people play at very high levels…levels the t-ball players can hardly imagine.
So it might be time to up your game. It’s time to imagine bigger, to implement bigger, to begin operating on an extremely high level, to have razor sharp vision, to not waste anymore time (yours or theirs), to be clear and content with what you have to offer each situation at the given time.
