Why is there a joshuabcrutcher.com?
That is a great question because there is not an exhilarating rags to riches story here. And I haven’t started and sold a million dollar business. I want to grow as an individual and I want to share things with people… And learn from others in return along the way…
So what do I see this site doing for myself?
This is a tool I plan to use to discuss my goals, personal character traits I am working to improve, and what actions I am taking to grow to be the best me I can be.
Why would you think you can lead someone else if you cannot lead yourself… For the hardest person to lead is yourself.
I know when I take ideas in my mind and put pen to paper, tangible ideals are formed. They are not in stone. But they are a foundation. This can be the foundation of you – an ever-changing foundation based on principles and concepts you have taken the time to map out yourself.
As I make my principles known to others, I have established expectations. I am boldly announcing my character expectations of myself to me. I am making my own guidebook. It’s hard enough for me to keep these to myself, but by announcing these to others, I am really setting myself up. I don’t necessarily need to know if anyone has read my thoughts or principles. Hopefully, the mere act of making it public in this fashion will be self-serving in that I will always hold myself more and more accountable.
I am not married to any discussion medium. I am just getting my discussion with my self going.
Don’t mistake this site as a self-delusion of grandeur, it is actually quite the opposite. It’s me talking about my weaknesses and how I can improve on them to be the best person I can be.
