Words of Wisdom - How to succeed from Go Daddy
by MattMy computer crashed, so while it was rebooting I broke out an old Business 2.0 magazine and ran across an interview with Bob Parsons of Go Daddy.
here are his 4 keys to Success
- Get-and stay-out of your comfort zone.
people don’t want to get away from things they feel comfortable doing. I totally agree, I call them gremlins, and they are the same gremlins that keep you from being the person you want to be. My largest gremlin is that I always say I will start tomorrow. Procrastination. Tomorrow I will start eating right, tomorrow I will start networking, but tomorrow never comes. - When you are ready to quit, you already have.
There is an old Chinese proverb; The temptation to quite will be greatest right before you succeed. - Anything that is not managed will fall deteriorate.
Take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven’t examined for a while. Problems will be there. - Enjoy the ride.

Good stuff, and I admire go daddy. I don’t use them at all, I get all my domain names from yahoo, but Go Daddy is the largest domain name supplier.
I get all my domains from Yahoo because their nameservers replicate faster then any other domain name broker. I can change my nameservers on Yahoo and within a couple hours they are pointing to the new servers. They also sell domain names for $1.99/year without having to buy additional services.

Interesting fact about GoDaddy is that they park advertising on domain names that are set up and not configure yet. They make $12,000 a day from advertising revenue on these sites, just by parking them. So when you get a domain name, get your stuff on it ASAP.
They also have a new program where you can park your domain names for a monthly fee of around $5.00 a month and get 60% of the ad revenue.
I think this is interesting, and I would like to extend an invitation to people that have domains that are not in use, to let us park them for free and we will split the ad revenue 50/50. I can set up either a adword site, community blog, or satellite site for free. If you are interested, please send me an email.

That is some great stuff. I started my own business a couple years ago, but because of my fear to get completely out of my comfort zone, it has only performed marginally. My wife and I were just talking about this the other night and determined that I needed to get out of my comfort zone and start pushing for business. Success comes when you stretch yourself, even though it hurts.
