Many of us like lists. To do lists. Grocery lists. Shopping lists. Top ten lists. We happened across another list recently while researching at the GoDaddy Website.

You probably have seen the GoDaddy television ads, the ones with “Biggest Loser’s” Jillian and Danica Patrick the racing driver! You see the supermodels and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Huh!” Or what do they do? Some people love the commercials while others despise them.

But founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com, Bob Parsons, has got his list entitled “Bob Parson’s® 16 Rules for Success in Business and Life in General” posted there; we think his list is pretty good and worth sharing.

1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
2. Never give up.
3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think.
4. With regard to whatever worries you, not only accept the worst thing that could happen, but make it a point to quantify what the worst thing could be.
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.

Like the commercials or not, take a look at Bob’s list; there is good advice in his list. While you are at the Website, you may find the videos at the video log worth watching. They’re done with the GoDaddy humor touch but you really can pick up good lessons learned tips for your business or you personal life.
