A Gentler Approach to Better Blogging
When I started Be More with Less almost 3 years ago, I never thought I would write about blogging, and I definitely didn’t think I’d be teaching other people how to start or grow a blog. My intention was (and is) to write and speak about simplicity in life and business and work with small [...]

The $100 Surprise
I flew home to Salt Lake City last night thinking about my almost indescribable weekend in Portland at a little event called The World Domination Summit. I bought a ticket last September, the same week that I quit my job. I remember thinking that if my new business didn’t take off, I would have to [...]
One Small Change
We stopped using our dishwasher last October and sometimes leave clean dishes in a drying rack overnight. My husband usually wakes up before me and on some mornings, he puts all the dishes away. Even though I have plenty of time to do it when I wake up, he does it first. It takes less [...]
