Liouvilles argument.
Suppose that T is a bounded operator and |z| > kT k. Then
(zI T )1 = z 1 (I z 1 T )1 = z 1 (I + z 1 T + z 2 T 2 + )
exists because the series in parentheses converges in the uniform
metric. In other words, all points in the complex plane outside the
disk of radius kT k lie in the resolvent set of T . From this it
follows that the spectrum of any bounded operator can not be
empty (if the Banach space is not {0}). (Recall the the spectrum
is the complement of the resolvent set.)

Outline Review. The Riesz-Dunford calculus. Lorchs proof of the spectral theorem. Characterizing operators with purely continuo
Proof.
Indeed, if the resolvent set were the whole plane, then the circle of
radius zero about the origin would be homotopic to a circle of
radius > kT k via a homotopy lying entirely in the resolvent set.
Integrating Rz around the circle of radius zero gives 0. We can
integrate around a large circle using the above power series. In
performing this integration, all terms vanish except the first which
give 2iI by the usual Cauchy integral (or by direct computation).
Thus 2I = 0 which is impossible in a non-zero vector space.
