In this episode, Joshua emphasized how “stuff’ alone won’t make you happy — and with minimalism you can focus on the items in your life that have a function and bring you value. To honor this idea, we wanted to challenge you Big Dreamers to a “Minimalist Challenge.” Specifically, we are suggesting that you go through your closet and donate anything that is no longer providing any value in your life. Whether that’s clothes you are no longer wearing, toys you don’t play with, or shoes that are too small. You’ll feel lighter and those less fortunate will benefit. Talk about a win-win! As always, our Dream Big Podcast downloads can be customized with your face and name, and it is 100% free to download. Click here to claim you free download.
If you complete this challenge, please let Olga know by emailing her at [email protected]. You will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift card. Winners are selected monthly and contacted by email (as well as announced on our show!).
