Boomers, If Your Goal Isn’t Impossible, You’re Not Reaching High Enough

My impossible isn't to write code, it's to write, a lot, for a little boy. (in fact, that part is now done)

Dear fellow Baby Boomer midlife professionals, if jeff noel has said it once, he’s said it a million times: If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Not impossible as in no one’s ever done it. Impossible as in you’ve never done it. Go.

Stay or go. (hint: standing still gets you nowhere)

To be clear, there is no attempt to judge midlife professionals if they are not interested in social media. Also, to be clear, jeff noel finds this absence of digital ambition interestingly surprising.

But then noel has to wonder, are other Boomer professionals judging him because of his intense digital ambition? At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what matters to you.

When jeff noel Tried To Describe Being A Prolific Blogger, It Seemed Fairly Inconceivable

Huh?

From jeff noel’s experience, many Midlife Baby Boomer professionals aren’t interested in keeping up with the rapid change social media is bringing to the way people and businesses communicate with one another.

When jeff described to a fellow midlife professional that he was a prolific blogger, the friend said it felt as though noel was speaking a different language and he didn’t understand a word of it. jeff noel just smiled and let it go.

This picture is from a photo shoot for Runner's World to advertise a Disney running event

Yesterday’s pictures were from Summer 2009. Had the opportunity to be at Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle at 5am (was on vacation). The photo shoot involved me and another Disney Cast Member volunteer. We kept running through Cinderella Castle’s breezeway as the photographer clicked off hundreds of photos. Months later, she was in the Runner’s World advertisement. It was a great experience.

jeff noel Stopped Trying To Separate Work and Life Years Ago

jungle jeff.net June 2009
Dear Son, remember this morning?
Good morning Magic Kingdom

Lee Cockerell, retired Executive Vice President gave a Time Management speech to a group of Disney leaders years ago. I attended. Lee said something that no one had ever suggested before. “Business people act like they have two separate lives – they maintain one calendar for personal stuff and another for work commitments. We have one life and we should have one calendar”.

Up until this month, Ive been blogging like I have two lives. I merged my calendars long ago. It’s time to do the same with my blogs.
