Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start?

The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by bestselling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it's not about better ideas, it's about actually doing the work.

Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance -- a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.

There are frustrations aplenty in the creative life. We work within constraints. We have highs where not a soul could touch us if they tried, and lows where the same is true. In other words, it's hard enough without on top of that worrying about the size of our talent compared to others, or whether the muse will show up, or if we've thought our last creative thought, made our last beautiful photograph. When you get frustrated, just begin. Pick up the camera and do the work. Sit down at the laptop and start the edit. Do the work.

Don't worry about getting inspired, being original, or any of the other things that haunt the creative mind. The muse will show up, she always does. It's she who's waiting. Just start. Do the work.

    "Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working."
    ~ Picasso

    "Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning."
    ~ Igor Stravinsky
