Do the Work

The enemy is not unpreparedness, the difficulty of a project, the state of the marketplace, or the emptiness in your bank account. The enemy is resistance. The enemy is your chattering brain, which—if you give it even a moment's worth of thought—will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications, and a million reasons why you can't/shouldn't/won't do what you know you need to do. Forget about getting ready and get started anyway!
