Not Go Daddy Founder Bob Parsons

Who and what inspires you to not quit? Ever consider Bob Parsons and Go Daddy?

Here is Go Daddy founder, Dr Bob Parsons, with Tip#1 – from his Vlog, Episode #35 from June 2: The One Thing Everyone Must Do To Position Themselves For Success.

There are a handful of valuable, common sense tips done in a humorous and entertaining way.  And listen as Bob says he almost abandoned Go Daddy, before it became the World’s Largest, Most Affordable, and Best Domain Name super site.

He almost quit. The successful Go Daddy founder almost quit.  He applied his own advice, his own tips, and didn’t.

Blog? Are You Kidding Me?

How’s the health of your competitive advantage?

If it is anything less than excellent, then you may want to consider what I’m about to suggest, and here’s why:

1. Has minimal start up costs
2. Can be done virtually anywhere
3. Can be done virtually any time
4. Can be done alone
5. Progress is easily measured
6. Provides multiple benefits when done regularly

That’s the key message today. Why would anyone avoid a low cost, incredibly flexible way to improve your edge.

You absolutely need an Internet presence. If you tune this out, you’re in big trouble. The same kind of trouble if you ignore a bad health report.

The easiest way to enhance your edge is to blog. If you don’t know how, there are tons of free online “how to” articles.

GoDaddy has 35 million domain names registered.  GoDaddy has seven million customers.

I’m one of them.

Will you be?

To me, Goddy and WordPress couldn’t make it any easier to blog and make a difference in our world.

They offer world class customer service.  Consistently. Great product.  Great price. Great selection.  Great service.

That’s all a person can ask for, isn’t it?  That a company would live up to their promise every day, with every interaction.

Impossible?  Probably.  But Go Daddy seems to have a much higher “success rate” than most companies I’ve worked with over 50 years.

Anyway, WordPress updates are done.  Web analytics are clearer.  Web statistics are way up.  Double and triple in many areas.  The reason? Because of people like you, reading this now.

THANK YOU!

Studying Disney the way I have since I was a child watching Walt Disney on TV in the early 1960′s, has taught me to always be evaluating service and product delivery.  Always.

In turbulent times, it’s even more challenging to be proactive – everyone is insanely busy.  Daily evaluating gives way to just surviving.

Every single day, our son sees me check GoDaddy web statistics.  He knows which days are great and which are average. The last two have been average, after a record setting day.

He just turned nine and I’ve already put him to work.  Walt Disney’s father, Elias, put Walt to work early with a newspaper delivery business.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.   Carpe diem, jungle jeff

PS.  Oh, and one more thing, what is now considered an “average” day, used to be “record breaking” day. Funnier still, it was the same for Walt Disney.  Still is, actually.

Do you even know what I’m taking about?

Is your personal culture “By Design” or “By Default“?

Or, does your culture ”just sort of happen”?

I’d bet a majority of you still don’t know what I’m talking about.  That’s ok.  No worries.  Hakuna matata.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Make your day purposeful, by design.  If you don’t, who will?  Carpe diem, jungle jeff
