You Gotta Do The Work

I recently read a GREAT little book by Steven Pressfield, called “Do The Work.”  I don’t know who recommended it, but I thank whoever did.

This is a fantastic read for anyone trying to start something new in their life, and needing some encouragement to get over the many inevitable hurdles along the way.  Steven Pressfield has an amazing way of describing the mental challenges that are faced by artists, authors, and entrepreneurs.   The enemies of success, as he puts it, are:

1. Resistance (fear, self-doubt, procrastination, addiction, distraction, timidity, ego and narcissism, self-loathing and perfectionism.)

2.  Rational thought

3.  Friends and family

As an entrepreneur myself, I can personally relate to many of the challenges spelled out in this book.  I highly recommend it for anyone focused on personal growth.  I’d love to hear your thoughts if you read it.
