Hi. My name is Jay White and no, I am not some professional development guru, I have not (yet) written any books and I have no alternative agenda aside from learning and sharing.
I started Dumb Little Man one night back in 2006. At that point, I was adjusting to the birth of my second child, trying to come up with some secondary income, maintain a more than full time sales career, be a good dad and husband, etc. Needless to say, there were (and still are) a lot of moving pieces to my life and if I truly wanted success in all areas, working and living smart was to be the cornerstone of my success.
In this blog's infancy, I would personally write about these experiences and their solutions. I would also seek out and write about new sites and services that could make life easier. 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.
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 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
