Hey DADS! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to check out my new blog. As a dad, I know there are numerous demands on your time. So let me get right to the point of why I decided to create www.daddymentor.blogspot.com.
I told my best friend I was considering the idea of starting a blog to expand my twitter experience, but was a little concerned that the name “The Daddy Mentor” would come off prideful and arrogant. His response was, “What is your purpose? Is it to flaunt your knowledge, be arrogant, puff yourself up and build an audience to make millions off a book deal? IF so, then I’m not for it. But if it is to help and inspire dads to be better at what they do, then go for it.”
I must say it is definitely closer to the latter, but making a couple hundred thousand $$$ on a book deal wouldn’t be bad J; I do have 4 kids to educate. Although I have 11+ years experience in the role of Dad, by no means do I consider myself an expert. In fact, as a dad who grew up without a dad, I consider myself poorly equipped for this monumental task. So, the purpose of The Daddy Mentor Blog is to help dads raise their level of “Dad-ness” by sharing some stories about me and my clan. Maybe the reflective part at the end of each blog will help us to be better at what we are doing.
I will endeavor to keep my submissions short and to the point. As busy, involved dads we have limited time and attention spans. Your comments, questions, and critiques are welcomed and encouraged. However, you can fore go the grammar comments; my wonderful wife will assist me there (as she reads this she is probably smiling at my excellent use of the semi-colon)!
