Seth Godin Blogger Interview

Seth Godin, Blogger extraordinaire, recently did an interview for Josh Bernoff,  senior vice president, idea development at Forrester Research.

If you have any desire to be a blogger, be a better blogger, or if you ever wondered why I write five blog posts per day, every day, click here.

That’s it for today. If you are taking a short cut and not clicking to read the interview with Seth, you are making a huge mistake.

Maybe saying that was a mistake.  Do two mistakes make a right?

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

jeff noel Endless Summer

jeff noel endless summer.

Endless Summer, a classic Beach Boys CD.

Summer, in the classic sense of school’s out, is almost over.

How is that possible?

I know why.

Time waits for no one.

Time is the great equalizer.  Every human gets the same allotment of time – 24 hours each day.

How we spend it is the real measure of wealth.

I better get going, have to make a trip to the bank.

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
  10. Have a purpose

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

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

Excuses be damned.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂


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.
