The Enemy is Upon Us! The Time to Act is NOW!

This post is for those of you who read motivational books...

I was spending my morning as usual, reviewing emails from the evening before and reading blog feeds, when one of my blog friends recommended this eBook to me.  I'm always on the lookout for motivational reading and what-the-heck it was free, so I decided to download it.

Before I knew it I was 20 pages in and knew NOW was the moment to take ACTION!  First step, tell all my friends!  So I stopped with the morning routine and posted this for you.  (Posting to this blog creates Resistance for me, now I have taken action!)  Download the book.  I hope it inspires you and moves you in to action.  And please post your comments to tell us what you think!


Free Kindle eBook: Do the Work by Steven Pressfield
A blueprint for tackling projects that matter to you.

Own a Kindle? You're in luck. A great new book by Steven Pressfield is now absolutely free for you. We didn't want you to miss this inspirational (and free!) book.
Part of Amazon's Domino Project, "Do the Work," is one in a series of free business books offered by the project.
Steven Pressfield is the bestselling author of The Legend of Bagger Vance, Gates of Fire and The War of Art. The latter book spawned Do the Work, as readers kept asking, "What is this terrible thing called Resistance -- and how can I overcome it?"
From the review of "Do the Work" by Robert Kiyosaki, investor, entrepreneur, and educator:
"Once again another brilliant book from Steven. Do the Work gives you step-by-step instructions on how to overcome and conquer Resistance--the biggest enemy of them all. The gloves come off! Do the Work explains who and what your allies are and how to embrace and utilize them in your creative life or in your day-to-day situations."
