Wanna know how to know when you’re talking to a pro in any industry… They will focus on the thing. Vs When you’re talking to an amateur. They will focus on everything. The pro will say less and it will seem obvious.
Amateurs have all the tricks. All the new clever ideas. All the tactics. A grab bag for everything. Pros typically sound obvious. Because the obvious thing is usually the thing but most can’t focus on it enough. Pro golfer: Tempo Pro chef: Ingredients The pros focus on what they don’t do, amateurs focus on everything to do. A best chef will say “it’s easy to make great food when you have the best ingredients from nearby. You don’t have to do much.” That’s the language to look for. Confidence lives in the absence of what people say. The insecure amateur will talk a lot more than the best in the world.
