In any economy its a good idea to learn how to be as 'self reliant' and 'independent' as you can be. Not because your hard to get along with (even though you may be), but because you never know when the tide will turn on you and you are in a position of needing to fin for yourself.
Then comes a recession. You say to yourself, "boy, I wish I had learned to do this myself. I would be way better off". It can be something as simple as cutting your kid's hair, or changing your oil, or maybe starting your own website. If only... hmmmmmm.
Enter TheBrightestCrayon.com. We've all heard that saying, "He's sure not the brightest crayon in the box". All that means is that there are brighter crayons then he. Now... I'm not saying I'm that 'Bright Crayon'. All I'm saying is that when you need to learn something, and I know how... or know someone that knows how, it compels me to make that information available. Sometimes free. Sometimes, if we have to produce a video, not free... but cheap. Cool!
We're just getting started. I opened this site in July of 2009. As I collect information, produce videos, interview those who knows (it rhymes if I say it that way), we all get better at being confident in self preservation and self reliance. And, if your good hearted, you will share your new found talents with those who need them as well.
Things that make you say, "Hmmmmmmmm."
