Everyone ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up somewhere on purpose. When I read that quote from Andy Stanley years ago (in Visioneering) I realized I had to get intentional in several areas of my life. That’s why I’m starting this new website, to share what I’ve learned and am learning about living on purpose!
WHAT am I going to write about?
My passion is Leading on Purpose! Three subtopics will make up the majority of my posts: Self Leadership, Family Leadership, and Ministry Leadership.
I hope to include guest posts, interviews, and reviews. If you have a topic related to the BIG THREE above that you’d be interested in reading about let me know.
WHY this blog? Three things fuel my motivation…
1. BLESS. I’ve been blessed in so many ways. Every blessing is meant to be shared and paid forward (otherwise would I really be leading on purpose?). The blessing of mentoring, coaching, reading, education, and of course experience that I’ve received will be shared here. My hope is that it will not only bless you, but through blessing you many others will be blessed through you.
2. CONVERSATION. A blog provides a mechanism for feedback. Every post will welcome and encourage conversation as we move towards leading on purpose as a community. Through the conversation my hope is that a sense of community will be shared and we will all learn through the process.
3. ARCHIVE. This will help a It provides an archive of communications This feature allows you to catch up if you have missed some of my posts. I think it might also prove helpful to new employees, allowing them to read the entries that interest them whenever they have the opportunity or interest.
HOW OFTEN am I going to post?
I anticipate writing a new post at least once a week and up to several per week. I honestly can’t predict the frequency. As I learn and develop this site my hope is to be consistent, effective, and helpful. Your feedback and comments will help.
Please do provide me with feedback. I want to hear “the good, the bad, and the ugly.” If you disagree with me or want to provide an alternative perspective, go for it! If you are uncomfortable using your real name, use an alias. The important thing is to tell me what’s on your mind and keep the conversations going.
How are you leading on purpose today? Tell me one thing in the comment area below.
Way to go, ED! You’ve taken the first step to wider communication and outreach. Hope your site will be as easy and flexible and versatile with Word Press as mine with blogspot.com. I’d like to be your first “follower!” Managing a blog or website will take a hunk more of your time. Hope you have found a way to stretch 24 hours!
Bubi, thank you for your kind words! I hope by God’s grace I can be a sliver of the writer you are!
