Uncreated works of personal expression are at the top of everybody's bucket list. Yet, how is it that the most important goals we have are commonly left unchecked when we kick the bucket?

The time for excuses is up, and I believe that the ability to be self-directed and motivated is critical to a fulfilling creative career. Waiting for inspiration isn't a reliable way to create. 

Today we dive into 4 ways you can overcome your creative hurdles. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all formula. Trial and error are expected.

Some additional discussions worth digging into:

1. Ryan Holiday: Establishing a practice, finding stillness in a chaotic world

2. Jericho Brown: What can you do today to start creating the life you want to live? If you're writing for 30 minutes a day, you're on your way.

3. Marie Forleo: Why you should create before you consume.

4. Jon Acuff: Idea bankruptcy > writer's block

Enjoy!
