Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

My wife and I are celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary today.

We met in a job interview 30 years ago.

She interviewed me for a Resident Assistant at West Chester University in 1979.

I got the job.

Best thing that ever happened to me.  It changed the course of my life and gave me the courage to become a better person.

Thank you, Cheryl.

I love you.

PS.  If you are reading this and you think this is sappy, oh well.  Sorry.  Hope you’ll still come back.

Make it a great day, because if you don’t, who will?  If not today, when?

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

42 Days

June 24 means 42 days.  It almost looks dyslexic.

Forty-two days until the prelims at the 2009 Master’s Track & Field World Championships.

Normally, this would mean nothing to me.

This year is different.

I’ll be running in them.  Seriously.

My goal is to be in the worst lane, Lane 8.

Visit www.Lane8.org to see why.

Got Soul?

Got soul?

Yesterday morning, at Church, I wrote down two things our Deacon said:

  1. What gift am I giving my children?
  2. Deep and unspeakable suffering.

These two groups of words resonated with me.  And while I can’t put my finger on it at the moment, I am processing it and will figure out if it’s something I can write about.

Have  GREAT Monday.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Orlando’s jeff noel on SEO

Orlando’s jeff noel on SEOSearch Engine Optimization.

Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is pretty much the same thing, so don’t over look reading about Search Engine Marketing.

Here are a couple easy things I did to learn about, and then execute on, search engine optimization, or SEO.

  1. Google SEO
  2. Google Search Engine Marketing (don’t Google SEM – your Google results for SEM will be poor)
  3. Google Meta Tags
  4. Google Tags
  5. Register a domain name (I recommend Go Daddy)
  6. Practice (there is no substitute for hard work)
  7. Keep it simple – try blogging ( I recommend WordPress)
  8. Use You Tube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other Social Media Marketing tools
  9. Pray  🙂

Good luck to you.  I wish you success beyond your wildest dreams.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

PS.  I’m currently on track to exceed 1,000,000 clicks in a year, by practicing what I’ve preached.

I guarantee that is totally beyond my wildest dreams.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, You Tube, Blogs, SEO……

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, You Tube, Blogs, SEO……

What does it all mean?

Not sure exactly.

I have pretty decent intuition.  I can see farther out than many can.

What does all of that mean?

Again, not sure really.

But I do know one thing for sure.

I believe that it’s possible for one individual to work hard, follow some common sense guidelines, and reach one million website hits in the course of one year.

A million in a year?

Yep?

How do I know?

Because I’m well on my way to doing it.

There are probably two camps of readers at this moment:

  1. jeff noel sure is egotistical.  What a jerk!  He’s must think he’s special.
  2. jeff noel sure is inspiring.  He’s a nobody, but he’s willing to work very hard to do the impossible.

I hope most of you subscribe to number two.  🙂

Bottomline:  I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m not.

We’re all gonna die sometime.  This is the great equalizer and common denominator among all humans.

What is not common is, as Mother Theresa said, “If you can’t do great things, do small things with great love”.

That’s all I’m trying to do?

What are you trying to do?

Hope it’s great.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
