I had the awesome privilege of being part of a super-secret undercover sneak preview review team for my friend Kem Meyer’s book Less Clutter Less Noise…Beyond Bulletins, Brochures and Bake Sales. With almost every single page I turned, I could think of someone I knew whose business, website, or ministry would be tremendously impacted by putting into practice the things that Kem has to say about simplifying and streamlining .
You should read this book if:
- you want to increase the power of your voice by simplifying your message
- you want others to hear what you have to say, but don’t think you are being heard through the noise
- you are a blogger, a ministry leader, a web-designer, or business owner.
The biggest take-away idea I got from Kem’s book is this: Your voice will actually be louder and clearer if you clean away the clutter that surrounds what you are trying to say. “More” is not better-usually ever. This book is really a pretty spiritual book in that it challenged me to think about who I am at my core, what my message is, and how I am going to convey it to others.
If this book were free, I would gather up as many as I could and hand them out to just about every business owner, web-designer, blogger, or ministry leader I know. But, unfortunately, it’s not free, so you have to order it yourself. You can get your copy here. Or if you know Kem, give her some cash for a book and ask her to sign a copy for you. I’m sure she would. She’s pretty nice that way.
Wait! Your blog looks different. Simpler. Less cluttered somehow. Did you get that from the book too??
(I like it, by the way. A new design is in my future, too, I think.)
