What is Pro Tier?

ELI5

Think of playing a video game. You start as a beginner, learning how to play. As you get better, you reach higher levels, unlocking cool new things to do. Pro Tier is like reaching the top level, where you're really good at the game and ready for the toughest challenges. In real life, Pro Tier is when your habits and routines are so polished that you can do amazing things. It's like a chef who doesn't need a recipe because they've practiced so much. You've moved past the basics and are now improving your skills to achieve even more. This is important because reaching Pro Tier means you're becoming a master at reaching your goals. You've built strong habits and can now focus on making your approach even better. It's where you make the biggest leaps forward.
