Read on Hacker NewsSeth Godin wrote a great little book "The Dip" - it's a bit more verbose than the above body building quote. Another excellent book is Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art" (no it's not a typo!) Generally anything worthwhile accomplishing takes serious effort. I've seen sources that suggest 10,000 hours. Eg. learning to play the piano well, sports, etc. Turning PRO is all about commitment - many people with great ability fall short due to the lack of persistence. Devil of an issue about choosing exactly to be a pro in.
