In any field/industry (especially creatives), there are amateurs and professionals. Almost all musicians are technically amateurs in the sense that they don't see significant income from their music, but the way they get to be an actual professional (who is making a living) is by acting like one in the meantime. No one wants to work with an amateur...not even most other amateurs. Most of the differences lie in attitude and behavior so the adjustment is almost never impossible. For example, amateurs think they know everything and can do everything. Professionals are constantly and actively learning, and know that there are limits to their knowledge and limits to their abilities. But perhaps the most telling and important difference is that amateurs have no problem giving up on something, getting sidetracked and often preemptively forgiving themselves doing either, while professional are all about execution. If you want to make a career in music, one of the most important things you can do is to act like you already have one.
