Do The Work by Steven Pressfield
Finishing is a critical part of any project. If we can’t finish, all our work is for nothing.
Resistance is a repelling force that prevents us from doing our work. The more important a call is, the stronger the Resistance. Next to Resistance, rational thought is the artist or entrepreneur’s worst enemy. It is when you get inside your head and stop your action because of fears and doubts.
Here is the truth --We can accomplish nothing until we act.
Always start before you’re ready. Get something done, however flawed or imperfect.
When we conquer our fears, that is where growth happens.
Strategy

Even a master builder cannot build a house without a blueprint. But an average one with a good enough plan can build one.
Where there is no vision, the people perish. -- Proverbs 29
