About

Are you tired of working constantly, fighting constantly and never seeming to make any headway? Minimalism can offer a solution to your problems. By eliminating the nonessentials you can free your time, space and money for what YOU want in your life.Minimize Your Stuff to Maximize Your Life!Why Minimalism?Over a decade ago I found myself a single parent of three young daughters. After cramming as much of our stuff into a tiny mobile home that would fit, we put the rest in a storage building. Every week we would drive there, rotating items into and out of storage in order to just have enough room to breathe.In those days the kids could demolish three rooms in the time it took me to clean one. It was a never-ending battle; I worked multiple jobs, went to school, cared for the kids but somehow I still had to find time to take care of our home. I was so completely exhausted that when friends even suggested I take some time off I became hostile; I desperately needed MORE time to do what needed to be done, not LESS!One day in a fit of rage I started gathering up stuff and throwing it away. Oh my! The open space recharged me, inspired me to do even more. Boxes and bags and more ended up dumped at the curb on trash day and I came to a realization that changed my life:The less I owned, the easier it was to clean.The less I owned, the less there was to trip over.The less we had, the less I had to work to pay for it!In this book you will discover:* You don't have to deprive yourself in order to be a minimalist.* There is no "wrong" or "right" type of minimalism.* The advantages you experience when practicing minimalism.* How to quiet the thoughts that are raging through your mind.* The art of minimizing your commitments.* How to increase your productivity.* Five types of friends you should minimize your contact with.* How to simplify your diet.* Why you should minimize your finances.* A risk-free way to minimize your possessions.* Suggestions on minimizing your living space.* How to maximize your dreams.This book is born from real-life experience, designed to help you free yourself to achieve the goals that you desire without making the mistakes commonly made by newcomers to the minimalist movement.Just as I have used minimalism to become a stay-at-home single mother and bestselling author, you can use minimalism to achieve YOUR dreams.Do you want to achieve YOUR dreams?Reviews:"I was left feeling like I need to read it through another time or two before I am ready to take notes on it. Which goes to show how much substance such a little book has, especially from the perspective of a person who is well read on the topic of minimalism." -- John Grebe"I believe that this is one of those Kindle ebooks that, by changing your attitude to everyone and everything around you, can transform your life almost overnight." -- Allie Lo Everyone should live on less. When we simplify our lives we liberate ourselves from the mind-numbing struggle just to survive. I started out working four jobs as I struggled to raise my kids as a single mother but we never had enough but when I began combining minimalism with frugality my life changed. I went from working four jobs to taking summers off to spend with my kids. I even stopped working a public job entirely for a few years but it eventually got to be boring so I went back to work part-time. I live on less a month than many earn in a week but my bills are paid and the majority of my time is my own to use as I please.You can do it too if you want. Read my books to learn how.
