We’re in the Press + Other News
Posted on 05.22.09 | 13 Comments
Lots of exciting news at Think Simple Now headquarters. In addition to having two new contributing members (lisa and scott) to the TSN team, we’ve had some press coverage.
1. Glamour Magazine
Glamour Magazine in the June 2009 issue.The coverage was for their annual salary survey article in the Life & Happiness section for the magazine (page 124).
For those curious to know, I was contacted one year ago, answered a series of questions, they came up with a quote to best fit their article, and I approved the quote.
Since the article came out many months after its original planned date, the quote was modified many times by the editors. At one point, it mentioned my trading in a six figure salaried job to have flexibility and freedom to follow my passion, and then later it mentioned me cutting costs by switching from my cell phone to skype, etc.Â
I didn’t have a whole lot of control over what was quoted or how it was quoted. So technically, I did not actually say, “I get to work at home and no boring meetings, ever!” Â The editors added that to spunk it up.
In all, I am very thankful for having had the opportunity to be quoted. I am now asking the universe for more such opportunities in traditional press (let me know if you have ideas).
2. Yes Magazine
Yes! Magazine had a small feature about Think Simple Now in their Winter 2009 issue (Issue 48) on Sustainable Happiness (page 37).The feature was written by an editor of the publication in late summer of last year, based on articles she saw on TSN and Google web stats I had provided for her.
See the article online.
3. Book Mention
Think Simple Now and myself were mentioned as a sample case study for the online personal branding section in the book “Tell Me About Yourself” on page 174, published in April, 2009 – written by Katharine Hansen of Quintessential Careers.
4. Amazon Kindle
Think Simple Now articles are now available to be subscribed to on the Kindle – Amazon’s wireless reading device.For 99 cents a month, you can have specially formatted TSN articles delivered to you, and stored on your Kindle.

On an interesting note, Jeremy did the photos of the Kindle on the Amazon site.
5. Updated About Pages
We’ve updated the much needed about pages for Think Simple Now:
- About page – to include a more up-to-date description, social media links, bios of the team and contact information. Be sure to scroll down to read the bio descriptions for Blackie and Tommy – all in good fun.
- About Tina page – much of what I had posted prior to the update was no longer relevant. I have grown so much since the start of this site, and the description badly needed this update. This page was pretty much re-written. Check it out.

There are some exciting new projects coming up on the horizon, I can’t wait to tell you about them. Keep an eye out here and on TSN for announcements.
In other news, I’m heading to India in three weeks for a month long spiritual retreat.  While I’m gone, I will not be blogging. If you are interested in submitting a top-notch guest post, send it to Lisa (lisa@thinksimplenow.com).
‘Think Simple Now’ in Aussie Press
Posted on 11.16.08 | 12 Comments
A reader from Australia wrote last week to inform me that he had found out about Think Simple Now via Sydney‘s biggest newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald. Coool!! Unaware of this press mention until his email, I was stoked to learn of it and attempted to get my hands on a copy through local libraries and international news stands… without too much success until …
Jason (the reader) was kind enough to then scan a copy of the paper.
Here it is if you wanna check it out (click on the paper on your left to enlarge).
Otto – my best friend from College, who also happens to be living in Sydney just informed me that he got a physical copy of the paper and is mailing it to me. YAY!! *bounce bounce*
Thank you Otto and Jason!
