Did You Arrive Here Via Mid Life Celebration?

April 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

What's your big dream? Mine is to change the way we pursue work life balance.

We’ve been conditioned to say it in this order: mind, body, spirit. And that’s the order I write. So before writing Lane 8′s daily post, I write Midlife Celebration’s post, which focuses on our attitude mind. This means Lane 8 revolves around our body – diet, exercise, rest.

Then after writing Lane 8′s post, I write at jeffnoel.org - our emotional core – our spirit. In fact, if you click on Blog below, you’ll go directly to the emotional/spirit blog.

Baby Boomer Entrepreneurs Understand What Bootstrapping A Startup Business Means

December 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Lunches on a budget and on a Zion trail

We paused for most of the meal, but then resumed our quest for Temple of Sinawava

All three - jeff noel, Chapin Noel & Jack the Bear - made it safely

jeff noel’s MBA continues while he grows his bootstrapping skills as a Baby Boomer entrepreneur. Cereal and fruit in the hotel room for breakfasts. Peanut butter sandwiches and fruit for lunches. Modest dinners in local restaurants. The reason most small biz startups fail is because there’s a ton of heavy lifting that most can’t endure. Just a simple fact of life. noel knows it all too well.

Some see stacked rocks and harmony. Others see a Christmas tree and joy.

As they hiked through Zion National Park, jeff noel and his son spotted four insignificant and small stones, carefully stacked by someone desiring to leave a message for others to contemplate and enjoy. At the time, October, Christmas was not on noel’s mind. Today, totally. Merry Christmas from everyone at Lane 8.

Back To Mid Life Celebration’s Health & Wellness Story (From Zion National Park)

December 23, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Prelude...

Not quite 9am, October 3, 2011 (perfect)

As we Baby Boomers struggle to slow down during hectic holiday and economic times, we would be wise to consider the many obvious benefits to sticking to a lifetime of physical activity, adequate rest and moderate eating. Embedded in the list is “getting to do more than if you weren’t relatively healthy”. Amen. Hard work is the short cut.

December 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Stay healthy, have fun. Brought an assistant (11) along on his 1st business trip.

One of my assistant's duties was to digitally capture the Senior Games story.

He did an excellent job on his first day.

Boomers, staying healthy is key to enjoying age group competition. But physical health isn’t the only thing Mid Life Celebration focuses on. Like many Boomers nearing retirement age, jeff noel operates a Health and Wellness business as a speaker and writer. Attending the Huntsman Senior Games was his son’s first business trip.
