It all started with a boy and a dream...
Ok. No. Not really. Not really at all actually. My name is Jay White and one night in 2006, I was putting together a sales presentation until the early morning hours. When done, I opened a beer and started playing with Blogger, the (free) blog platform that this site is built on on.
To this day, I'm not sure where the name Dumb Little Man came from. Maybe I'll get analyzed one day by a team of psychiatrists to find out. What I do know is that I have always been in to productivity, automation, and, well, finding a simpler way for everything.
In this blog's infancy, I would personally write about my experiences, I would share sites and resources that I found helpful, etc. As my sales career expanded and my writing time diminished, I had a tough choice: either close DLM or accept that you, the audience has something substantial to share.
I quickly decided that sharing info trumped the ego boost of being the sole writer on DLM. There simply is no master of everything so there is no value in claiming to be one. Therefore, I opened the door and now allow anyone to share stories or publish tips and advice. To me, this has been phenomenal windfall of ideas and concepts that I would have never thought of. To date, over 12 million people have stopped by Dumb Little Man and I'd like to think that most learned something.
So, with that, I will thank you for stopping by. I hope that you learned something during your visit and if so, let us know by actively participating in the comment section. OR - - and here is a novel idea, or perhaps write a little article that you believe will help others. If we all take an idea and leave an idea, we're all sure to see the type of life changes we're looking for.
Feel free to send me topics you'd like to see covered, questions you have, gripes, etc. You can also follow me on Twitter if you are into that.
Warm Regards,
Jay White
