Blogging is like running.  In order to do it well, you have to:

  1. Set goals
  2. Study
  3. Learn
  4. Practice
  5. Improve
  6. Stay focused
  7. Stay motivated
  8. Have fun
  9. Never quit

From one push up per day to the Masters World Championships.

From one blog post per month, to five blog posts per day.

Mid Life Celebration

Mid Life Celebration.

While many have or dread the infamous “mid-life crisis”, I am having a mid-life celebration.

What are you having or dreading?

What are you doing about it?

I’ve come to many conclusions in my life.  And at age 50, I’m confident in my ability to be pretty well balanced, and well grounded.

It’s liberating to make concrete decisions about who you are and what you value.  And when you do so in no uncertain terms, you will find a peace and a joy you never thought possible.

At least that’s the world I live in.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

jeff noel is a jerk!

jeff noel is a jerk!

Maybe.  Maybe not.

Depends on your definition, and Dictionary.com defines: jerk: Slang. a contemptibly naive, fatuous, foolish, or inconsequential person.

One thing for sure, and writing all these blogs helps make things clearer.  Putting thoughts on paper requires you to inventory what your values, beliefs, etc, are.

And I’ve come to a conclusion.  To some, I am definitely a jerk.  To others, a refreshing, and challenging way to look at life.

Of course, there is complete unscientific bias here, but I have to agree with the later.

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Professional Speaker jeff noel

Professional speaker, jeff noel, gives speeches to change the world.

I never give the same speech twice.

I’ve been called audacious, by a former Disney leader.

On a good day, I’m uncommonly insightful.

Just wanted to share this.  Sounds boastful, but it’s true.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

World’s Biggest Search Engine?

What’s the world’s biggest search engine?

Trick question here.

Still think you know?  Google?   Yahoo?  MSN?  Ask?  Bing?

Try this.  Your mind.

Told you it was a trick question.

Now for the next trick.

How much of it, and how often, do you search with it?

Try this.  Go look in the mirror.  Do you have the answers to your big questions?

Be creative.  Be focused.  Be  disciplined.  Be patient.  Or not.  But please don’t complain to me if you don’t use the biggest search engine out there.

Carpe diem.  If not today, when?  jeff noel 🙂
