Can't believe only 73k people have the brains to see this awesome piece of work by you!! it needs to be spread to rest of the 7 billion!! kudos! I have been your subscriber since more than 7-8 years I guess.. your videos never disappoint me! Thanks a lot

Excellent, nails it!! Have been a blocked professional artist/composer and just bought Pressfield's great book which I read in one night and will keep on working with that everyday as well! Have composed a full length folk opera which I did get out with partial funding with a cultural council with a write up in the Boston Globe and need to get it out again...not easy but needs to be done! I've always felt it wasn't sent through me for nothing! Best of luck to all in similar situations, we can move on and become functioning creatives once again! Like Pressfield says, if he could do it, we can all do it! Just do it!!

Everytime I see your videos in my subscription box it reminds me to get back to work! Then I actually watch the video and i'm super motivated, so it's extra helpful. Thanks!

This book helped me overcome the fear of live streaming game development, something I've wanted to try out for YEARS.
I was once close to hit the "start streaming" button, yet fear kicked in and I didn't try it until now, a year later after reading this book.
I did it! The fear was still there when I tapped "start streaming", but I did it!
Do the work. Trust the soup :)

Pilots are super disciplined and have detailed checklists. Must have a process. Thanks for the vid😎👍🏻

I find this Doing the Work to be the hardest, being an artist. I have such high expectations it's difficult for me to even begin. Thank you for reminding me that this is all part of the process.

Brian, you are amazing. I was looking for a daily reminder of strength and reinforcement and I think I found it. Thanks.

[stephenbarnes]

I really like your work. You deserve a much greater following.

Hi Brian,
First of all. thank you very much for what you are doing. You're doing an awesome job and a great service.
Quick question: I've already read The war of art. Which book would you recommend to read next - Do the Work OR Turning Pro?
Thanks again,
Or.

Hello Brian
Have you read all of Steven’s non fiction books?

[EanWeichsel]

Thanks so much for the video! I couldn't imagine how you could be hesitant to put amazing videos like this out. But I can imagine you being a perfectionist haha. Keep on rocking - appreciating all those videos of yours a LOT. I'm watching them multiple times and putting the lessons into action. Currently reading "Turning Pro", I Like the author. Cheers

Wow. This was really great. I needed to hear this and the presentation had me laughing. Thanks so much.

I work holidays and special occasions etc, (and have for years) as well but still can't seem to get anywhere. I am sharing as much as I can and constantly shipping ('dropping hints'), fire aim, ready! and it doesn't seem to bring anything back in results.

Though I keep my eye on the dream I constantly face disappointment and yet, somehow can't seem to 'just walk away'

[vajidalishah]

So if it comes to writing a novel how would that work?

[wesramm]

Thanks for the videos. Just found you looking for a review of this book, but I’ve subscribed and I’ll check some more out. Appreciate the help!

[AstroPath]

You are so awesome! Thank you for your work.
