I’ve noticed a pattern. People, who are called to create something significant, often encounter significant Resistance.
Some call it spiritual warfare or Murphy’s Law. Bestselling author Steven Pressfield identified it as the “Resistance.” His predecessor Freud referred to it as the Death Wish—the destructive force inside human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough, long-term course of action that might do good for others or ourselves.
If you’ve ever tried creating a business, a work of art, or a book you’ve felt it. If you’ve ever taken action toward expressing your dream you’ve confronted it. (My wife Joanne, unpacks this force in her book – Be Your Finest Art.)
Odds are you have an idea, an enterprise, a masterpiece planted deep inside you. But this desire remains dormant as long as you give in to the Resistance.
Although Resistance takes many forms (fear, criticism, rationalization, distraction, perfectionism, and procrastination—to name a few) its effect is always the same.
Resistance fights tirelessly to keep you stagnant and stuck. Resistance works overtime to prevent you from escaping into your creative call and embracing your divine destiny.
So how do entrepreneurs, artists, and authors overcome the Resistance and create their good in the world?
This Thursday night I want to give you a chance to ask your questions – and to address some of the things that hold us back.
Join me, Joanne Miller, and Kary Oberbrunner on a special FREE webinar called Escaping Shawshank this Thursday – March 19th. We’ll show you how to identify, engage, and overcome the Resistance. When you register you receive a FREE guide with practical tools, tips, and strategies.

In the words the Shawshank Redemption,
“I guess it comes down to a simple choice—get busy living or get busy dying.”

Look forward to tuning in tonight. I’m familiar with Pressfield’s focus … when I read him, I cannot help but think in spiritual categories. When creatives and builders read Pressfield on this, it’s like gazing into the mirror.
Brian – cool. We were at 822 people registered for tonight early this morning. It will be fun – and hopefully more informative.
I’m confused about why this event is 3 days for $1547, but Tony Robbins event coming up is just $650 and its 4 days. The price for this seems quite high.
We’re transporting you in buses, getting you access to Shawshank Prison, also to Spark Space, keeping it a very small and intimate group, and providing meals. Tony’s events are awesome – but you’ll be sitting in a hard chair in a big crowd. Very, very different experience.
I now see who your target audience is and its not the unemployed.
No this is probably not a good fit for someone who needs income immediately. We have lots of other resources for that but this event is for someone who is doing well now, but feels like there’s something bigger they’re being called to do.
