Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, it’s safe to say you’ve heard of, or perhaps even joined, the growing movement of minimalism. I myself have committed to reducing clutter both physical and mental in my life. There’s something about simplifying and eco-friendly that is so rewarding.

It’s also safe to say that everyone loves treats, and today you’re in for one. Not only will I give you my thoughts on Everett’s amazing e-book (not an affiliate link) on being minimalist, but I will also share the great interview I did with Everett a few weeks ago.

I’ve been wondering how to write this post for almost three months now. There is something important that I want to say to you all, but I also want to say “Hey, stay, keep reading” after I’ve said it, because I have a lot of things I want to explain. I try not to ramble in my posts, so I’ll just come out and say it: I’m no longer the owner of PluginID.

Don’t be too alarmed though; I haven’t owned the site for three months, and not much has changed around here. A product has been launched, posts have been written and I’m still far too active on Twitter.

Just a very quick post today as I’m sure you’re all spending time with family and disinterested in the internet world. I just wanted to say a quick thank you and wish you a merry Christmas from the team here at PluginID (that’s myself and Bud).

The community here has grown massively in a year: from 700 subscribers to almost 6,000. I can’t thank all of you enough for your support in terms of links, retweets, comments and even just eyeballs. I can see already that next year is going to be special.

It has been almost 10 weeks of hard work but that all ends now as Reality Switch is here and ready for purchase. I have not been alone on this project, it is in fact co-authored by my friend and very talented marketer Bud Hennekes.

Reality Switch is our guide which helps you get from where you are in your life right now, to where you want to be. It’s about completely transforming yourself both internally and externally to have what you want in the right balance.

It comes from my own story of quitting my job and travelling the world and now being able to live anywhere and Bud’s of travelling throughout America and Asia while dealing with personal travesties along the way and now finding himself more successful than ever.

If you have previously purchased Cloud Living then this book is a perfect addition to that. This book is very much about the mindsets, success traits and characteristics we’ve...

I found myself browsing around on Facebook yesterday which is probably because I’m coming to the end of my 6 week challenge. I noticed under my profile picture the ‘Videos of you’ section and decided to click on it to refresh my memory about what is there. The first video was of myself and a friend, Candice, in a bar not long after I arrived in South Africa.

I remember this night so perfectly, as if it was last week, and was completely shocked to see it dated: November 2007. Knowing it has been two years since that video was taken makes me realise how fast life can fly by without us even noticing and how the next two years will be pretty much the same.

I think only the most egotistical people in the world would say that they never have problems. Contrary to that, I’m more than happy to discuss mine. My thoughts here aren’t really about a problem that I have but more about a situation that has arose.

When I attended Pam Slim’s workshop this weekend, what I noticed is that I don’t have a clear focus with the business properties that I run. Sure, there were people there with lots of business ideas, but they all seemed to have a clear focus on each.
