Less is Truly More an Entrepreneur Success Story With Everett Bogue

By On · 9 Comments · In Branding

Often during my dog days of entrepreneurship  I would wake up, eat breakfast and then try to attack the massive piles of work on my desk, usually to no avail. It took about 6 months for me to realize that a messy office = a messy business. After reading Getting Things Done by David Allen I tosseda lot of stuff out and started focusing only on what was most important. This was a turning point for me and first peaked my interest at the idea of minimalism.

So when I kept hearing about Everett Bogue who blogs at Farbeyondthestars.com and his minimalist attitude I thought “wow, I need to interview him and see what else I could get rid of to further streamline my life and business”. Little did I know that this interview would become one of my favorite’s of all time ad would greatly contribute to me reworking my ‘life plan’ to be far less about stuff and far more about experiences.

I am so excited to share with you Everette’s amazing views on life and entrepreneurship, it’ll pump you up, make you want to clean your closets while you listen and show you an amazing new view on life that allows you to do what you want by getting rid of the clutter that doesn’t directly contribute to making your personal or business life better.

    Good interview. It's true people have way too much stuff. including stupid sports cars and the like. Everett is also right about the storage stuff. a friend of min Steven Clarke tells me he heard that Some 70% of Americans pay to store the junk that won't fit into a Mcmasions or their homes. I must include my 18 year old niece in this 70% category.

    Great interview! I just got to listen to this now but because of this post I cleaned out all the crap that was lingering in my desk drawers for over a year. Go minimalism! :)

    Stop worrying so much about your voice. It's fine and it makes you seem insecure. You are talking your power away by pointing it out. Your voice is perfectly fine in the audio and the interview is great.

    This is a great podcast with Everett Bogue. I have bought Everett's books and he is really straight to the point how he feels about living within your means and realistically build a business with very little overhead. After reading Everett's blog and books it really got me to thinking. Where in the world did I get all this stuff. Why do I need it and how am I going to get rid of it:). Less is definitely more so I will tell you that I will be watching and following Maren and Everett for a while. Your definitely going places and will reach your goals. Of course with your help I know I will be reaching mine as well.
