Bob Parsons - cooler than I thought

[Nathan]

I searched and there's a few posts I've seen about him. So here's another.

I always use godaddy to purchase my domain names and I always see his picture on the site, and for some reason he always just came off like some sleezebucket. Don't know why, just the vibe I got. But today when I was registering a domain name, I saw he had a video blog and one of the comments was something about his posts being like a free business school, so I figured what the hell and clicked. Now after watching about 10 videos, I think the guys pretty cool, with a good message for entrepreneurs.

Go Daddy Founder & CEO Bob Parsons' Personal Blog That one starts at the latest video, but you can watch the older ones obiviously. Check a few out

He makes points like:

• Don't quit your day job until you have a proven business idea
• Partnerships are bad
• Long meetings are awful for business
• If you get discouraged - think of OTHER people and not yourself. Looking around, whinging, complaining people are always talking of themselves....so put your focus on something else, not you.
• Decide quickly, don't draw it out.
• Stay out of your comfort zone, which I think is something that hits me the hardest as I'm sure it does for most people. He said he doesn't believe anything of any significance ever happens within your comfort zone. I like it.

Anyways, check out a few, and his site ans post up some thoughts!

Yeah, his blog is pretty cool. I mean, the presentation is pretty lame if you ask me (entertainment for the stupid) but the principles are sound.

No I completely agree. Awful production, but i'm sure that's why he puts hot women in everything he does to make up for it. But yea, if you get past the cheap a$$ presentation, he's got some good info

I read an Inc. article on him a few months ago.. seems very down to earth, but knows how do handle business.

I like the video production.
I prefer all the cheesy stuff which makes me giggle every now and then opposed to him just sitting in a chair talking.
It's like what is this crazy a** hole going to do next?

5 things I wish I learned in Business School. Plus ... a smoking HOT blonde.

LOL yea, some of those videos he inserts in there, like the people faceplanting or something have definitely gotten a giggle out of me here and there.
