Getting your mindset right and making a commitment to move from hobbyist podcaster to podcasting professional is key, but only after you:

• understand that turning you into a pro is different than having a pro podcast
• 
  
• level-up the skills and abilities you already have
• 
  
• surround yourself with and collaborate with people who can get you closer to your goal of going pro.

No, none of these are easy. But the mindset is probably the hardest part. So I’ll wrap this four-part miniseries with two messages:

1. There's a very good chance that you will not succeed. Yes, that’s a Bummer. But it’s reality. No matter how much effort and energy you put into becoming a professional in the world of podcasting… it just may not work. 
2. Success might look completely different than what you're thinking about right now. So keep your mind open and increase your luck surface area.

There’s never been a better time to make the decision to turn pro. I’m rooting for you!
