Bob Parson's 16 Rules For Success
Professionally, I work as a Software Engineer at GoDaddy.com. The crazy Super Bowl ads and fun company culture are what attracted me to work there. The owner of GoDaddy.com, Bob Parsons, has a list of "16 rules for success in business or life in general" which I thought were worth sharing.1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
2. Never give up.
3. When you are ready to quit, you're closer than you think.
4. Accept the worst possible outcome.
5. Focus on what you want to have happen.
6. Take things a day at a time.
7. Always be moving forward.
8. Be quick to decide.
9. Measure everything of significance.
10. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.
11. Pay attention to your competitors, but pay more attention to what you're doing.
12. Never let anybody push you around.
13. Never expect life to be fair.
14. Solve your own problems.
15. Don't take yourself too seriously.
16. There's always a reason to smile.
Bob's motto is "We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time". He has a video blog which has a lot of great material worth checking out. He also reads every comment and responds to a lot of them.
