Douglas Castle Learns a Lesson From GoDaddy.com -

Dear Friends:

I am sometimes a bit of a snob. Because of this common form of stupidity (which masquerades as conceit in many of my well-to-do friends), I have a dangerous tendency to assume (I know the joke) that other people think as I do, and want what I want. This likely explains why my "Liver On a Stick" business, started in my second year of high school, flopped miserably. Instead of doing my homework and researching my prospective marketplace, I often jump into the pool without checking to see whether or not it contains any water.

Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy.com is a tremendously successful businessman, with much to his credit. Yet, I keep deliberately disregarding some of his time-tested folk wisdom because he reminds me of people I simply dislike (usually without any legitimate reason) -- people such as Vince McMann (is that how you spell it?), Bob Guccione, Donald Trump, Elliot Spitzer, and a host of others.

Bob Parsons gives an amazingly simple yet deadly effective presentation on his Blog Episode #28, dated 3 July, 2009. It is an excellent primer on entrepreneurship and innovation. I will apologize in advance for his exploitation of very small Tee-Shirts, and the young women who sometimes fill them. I'll avoid any silly jokes, and just hope that you will find the video as effective and as informative as I did.

Incidentally, I must say that GoDaddy.com is probably the best website domain reservation and management service that I have ever used. That Parsons is a stickler for quality. Take his video seriously...he's doing something right, and he talks candidly about it.

Faithfully,

p.s. This is a terrible color, isn't it? Sort of a vomitous verdant.
