You have to fight for the right to create.

Just finished reading the War of Art. (Not the Art of War, but I’m sure this was not an accidental use of wording). A pretty quick read that outlines why anyone with a creative bone in them should fight to create. This includes but is not limited to writers, painters, photographers. I can also see how the main theme of the book can be transitioned to those that have all those entrepreneurial ideas, but many more excuses why not to bring the ideas into action. This has been hinted in some parts of the book, but the author focused mostly on writers and artists.

Not only do you have to fight to create, you have to do it day in and day out. That’s all it takes, according to the author. To be successful you have to sit your bottom down and do something. Don’t waste time and energy waiting for inspiration or muses to come down. They will anyway, you just don’t know when. But when they do you will be ready. By that time you would have brought the talent of an amateur to the level of a professional.

No point of me regurgitating the book and the concept. Go read it for yourself! But get to work first. Write something. Paint someone. Prepare a business proposal.
