If you’ve read The War of Art, Turning Pro, or Do the Work, you already know the enemy: Resistance.
This course is about finally defeating it.
If you are...
Tired of letting fear dictate your creative choices…
Done putting off the project that keeps calling you…
Ready to turn intention into action…
This course is for you.
You don’t need another book. You need to do the work.
Let this be the turning point.
“Resistance is a force of nature? You mean I’m not to blame? I can’t tell you how much better that makes me feel!”
—Oprah on Super Soul Sunday
What You’ll Learn...
You already know the feeling. The blank page that stares back, the inner critic that whispers “Who are you to do this?” and the endless distractions that pull you away from your best work.
This course is about breaking through the invisible forces that hold you back and finally becoming the creator you were meant to be.
Part 1: Understanding Resistance
- Discover why resistance isn’t just a personal flaw, but a universal force that every creator must face.
- Learn how to recognize its disguises—fear, procrastination, perfectionism, self-doubt—and fight back with discipline and courage.
- Find out why mastering your mindset is just as important as mastering your craft.
Part 2: The Blank Page is Not Neutral
- Understand why the blank page actively pushes back against your creative intentions.
- Learn how to overcome the most common creative blocks, from self-doubt and fear to distraction and self-sabotage.
- Discover why the biggest resistance often comes just before your biggest breakthroughs.
Part 3: Higher Dimensions of Creativity
- Explore the deeper spiritual nature of creativity and why it’s about more than just making art.
- Learn how to shift from ego-driven striving to soul-driven expression.
- Discover why treating your work as a sacred practice transforms both the artist and the art.

Introducing Resistance Reset + Live Group Coaching
Ready to go beyond inspiration and actually change the way you show up for your work in 2026? This is your moment.
here's what you'll get:
Full access to Overcoming Resistance: From Start to Finish. This is Steven’s clearest, most practical training on how to recognize Resistance, outsmart it, and finally do the work you’ve been putting off. This is the roadmap to making 2026 the year you stop stalling and start finishing.
You won’t be going through this alone. Join Steven live as he talks directly about the challenges you’re facing in your creative life, answers questions, and coaches writers and creators in real time. You’ll learn from his guidance to others as much as from what he says to you.
Bring your toughest sticking points, half-finished projects, or fears about getting started. Steven will cut through the noise and speak to what really matters: how to sit down, turn pro, and keep going when Resistance hits.
Sometimes all it takes is one clear insight, delivered at the right moment, to flip the switch. See your project differently, reclaim your momentum, and remember why you began this journey in the first place.
But There’s a Catch:
This is a rare chance to be coached live by a master of the creative war.

Hi, I'm Roda Ahmed
Founder of The Silent Writing Retreat
Last September, Steven Pressfield and I hosted a powerful, one-day journey nestled in the serene landscapes of Malibu, California. It was a day unlike any other—a chance to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the inner voice that drives true creative work.
We took away the distractions, the excuses, and the resistance, creating a space for real breakthroughs and creative transformation. It was a sacred space for those who felt called to do the hard, meaningful work of writing.
Now, we’re thrilled to offer you the chance to experience that same journey, wherever you are.
Whether you’re starting a novel, screenplay, or any long-term creative project, Steven’s insights will equip you with the tools to see it through the hurdles of doubt and procrastination to successful completion.
This course is an invitation to reignite your creative fire and overcome the resistance that’s been holding you back.
Join us, and take the next step.
A Personal Note from Steven Pressfield
“Resistance is stronger today than it’s ever been and producing more casualties than ever before. Why? Because all of us have more FREEDOM today than ever before. Technology and culture have blown away all BARRIER TO ENTRY. We have NO EXCUSES any more.
This freedom puts a tremendous burden on each of us. We feel our dream inside us, a living thing begging to be born. If we don’t do it, there is no one to blame but ourselves … and we know it.
What’s the answer? The answer is this IS A WAR. A war inside our heads. A war against our own selves.
That’s the war you and I are in. The “war of art.” Between the goddess, the unknowable, unstoppable force of creativity that has been around since the Big Bang, bringing into being that which had never existed before. And Resistance, the negative, equally unyielding force trying to stop that NEW THING from being born.
That’s our battle. It’s yours and it’s mine. Good luck and Godspeed.”
