Steve Jobs would have turned 60 tomorrow. No man on jeff noel’s Dad’s side of the family lived past 60. As he approaches his 56 birthday, he (as we all should) is mindful of a ticking clock.

Insight: Was organized enough to have the book handy should an opportunity present itself.

Two days ago had the guts to be decisive enough to spontaneous decide to go to the National Conference opening, uninvited. Had the guts to ask permission, which was quickly granted. Had the determination to see every speaker.
Why?
So that this morning from 9:15 – 10:00am, the opportunity to blow the audience’s mind isn’t just a dream.
