If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.
A domain name is your address, your address on the Internet. We all have a physical address; we’re all going to need an address in cyberspace. They’re becoming increasingly important. I believe we’ll get to the point where when you’re born, you’ll be issued a domain name.
Anything that is measured and watched, improves.
Let’s be honest. There’s not a business anywhere that is without problems. Business is complicated and imperfect. Every business everywhere is staffed with imperfect human beings and exists by providing a product or service to other imperfect human beings.
The Internet has changed everything. We expect to know everything instantly. If you don’t understand digital communication, you’re at a disadvantage.
You put a tuxedo on me, it’s like putting a saddle on a hog.
Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.

I’ve never worked to make money. I understand we’ve got to eat and all that, but I never said I want to be a multimillionaire or a billionaire. To me, that’s of no significance. I work to have the accomplishment.

You got to go down a lot of wrong roads to find the right one.
I now know that I learn by solving problems as they arise. Rarely do we learn significant lessons, or significantly improve, any other way.
Like most business people, I want every aspect of my business to be perfect. I know that this goal is unachievable, but it is nevertheless what I strive to achieve .
Go Daddy is not just a job; it’s a way of life. Our employees work hard, and offering great incentives is fun and productive for the company.
We are imperfect beings in a very imperfect world, and the one thing we can count on is that things will go wrong, and that each and every one of us will have problems.
The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.
When it comes to the Internet, people like dealing with people.
I learned at that young age that sometimes a really big chance pays off.
Any company has got to reinvent itself again and again.
When I started Go Daddy, I tried many things – like building networks and selling education – and none of it panned out. I lost millions of dollars the first couple of years. I made a lot of wrong turns, but that’s the process of being successful in business.
