Mike’s Likes – Caffeine, Ben Franklin and The War of Art

 
Ok, quick poll: Caffienated or noncaffeinated? Check out this video for my shocking reveal! (cue mysterious music)

Are you a “creative”? You don’t necessarily have to be in the arts. If you’re a business owner, you are, indeed, a creative. You create systems, culture, platforms, and well, a whole dang company! Here are two of many books that have supported me in creating my business and my writing journey.

The Poor Richard’s Almanac, by Benjamin Franklin, is an oldie but goodie. It’s a book of truisms I received years ago. For a quick trip back in time, this is straight out of the original 18th century publication. It holds wisdom that Franklin took from others and put together to motivate the everyman philosopher.

If you want some insight into pushing past roadblocks when you’re trying to create something, The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield, gets my vote. It’s one of the first resources that really pushed me past my hurdles and gave clarity when I began writing. Pressfield inspired me to give it my absolute all, and truly fulfill my potential as a writer. It will help you push past whatever is standing in your way, so you stop procrastinating and start creating!

That’s it for now! Be well – and be inspired!
