The thing required to be a professional at something--the only thing required--is to convince somebody to pay you for your product or work. Whether you're actually any good at it is a different matter entirely, and somewhat only tangentially related getting paid.

I agree with your point. Shall I edit the title to "expert" - maybe that's a more fitting word for this experiment?
Edit: I've changed the title - you're right, professional is too broad and he's talking more about becoming the very best.
No worries. Honestly, usually it's best just to use the article's original title, whatever it was.
