Grab a copy of “Do The Work” for nothing

If I could afford it, I would give every client of mine and everyone who came to a workshop a copy of “The War Of Art” by Steven Pressfield. It’s hands down the best book I know for getting things built or done.

Steven Pressfield has just released a companion book and you can get the Kindle Edition for nothing.

It’s called “Do The Work” and is a primer to getting a project completed and overcoming the internal obstacles you’ll meet on the way.

You can read Kindle editions on the Kindle (!) and any number of devices or phones using the free Kindle App.

Here’s the link for the book. Grab it now. It won’t always be this price.
