Summary: <p><strong>And they call her Resistance.</strong></p> <p>And she is stopping you from <em><strong>getting going and moving forward</strong></em> with your business idea.</p> <p>I think Freud expressed it perfectly when he talked about the big elephant in the room to <em>what is stopping you.</em></p> <p>He called it a death wish and if you sit back and think about it, he was right</p> <p>He said</p> <p><em><strong>“That destructive force inside human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough long term course of action that might do for us or others something that is actually good”</strong></em></p> <p>And I completely agree, it is a very destructive force and one that needs to be overcome.</p> <p>I come across people on a regular basis, who, with great conviction, say how much they want to write a book, start a business or pursue a passion.</p> <p>This is then closely followed by a laundry list of reasons why whatever they say they want to do hasn’t happened yet.</p> <p>I find it very, very sad; so many people are trapped in this world of resistance.</p> <p><em><strong>They are trapped right in that space between the full-on and real desire to do something and then moving themselves to actually doing it.</strong></em></p> <p>Many people live here, on Resistance Street, sad and frustrated and like that other very famous quote dismally says<em><strong> “living lives of quiet desperation with their song still inside of them”</strong></em></p> <p><strong>So, would I be talking about you when I ask?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Are you facing obstacles, real or imagined on the path you want to go with your business idea? <strong>Or</strong> </li> <li>Do you tell yourself you really want to start but find you keep doing other things instead? <strong>You know when</strong> </li> <li>You make a deal with yourself to really get going, after work, or at the weekend but end up watching TV instead?</li> </ul> <p><em><strong>If so you then you might be facing your own spell of resistance.</strong></em></p> <p><a href="https://www.createyourperfectbusiness.co.uk/resistance.html"><em><strong>Read more here about resistance on my website</strong></em></a></p> <p><strong>Book Mentions</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.createyourperfectbusiness.co.uk/resistance.html"><strong>Steven Pressfield- Author of The War Of Art</strong></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Other books by this author: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/32oEURz"><strong>Do The Work</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2Td6Kfp"><strong>Turning Pro</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2VgzZ3H"><strong>The Artist's Journey</strong></a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3c5TD8s"><strong>Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t Anyway</strong></a></li> </ul> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/createyourperfectbusiness/message
