Devoted to women of color in business

Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy.com, keeps a personal blog at www.bobparsons.com. The man's financial thermostat is set for building multi-million-dollar companies: he started Parsons Technology in 1984 and sold it ten years later for $64 million to Intuit.

His current company is GoDaddy.com, which sells domains and hosting. The company manages approximately 14.6 million domain names and as of Q2 2006, the company is cash flow positive with $14.2 million net for the quarter.

Parsons posted "16 Rules to Live By" and I wanted to share his advice with you: you'll find some of his ideas match many of our List-o-Pedia items.

Some good ones to remember from Bob Parsons' list:

• 16. There's always a reason to smile. Find it.
  
• 9. Measure everything of significance. Parsons states: "I swear this is true. Anything that is measured and watched, improves."
  
• 3. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think.

Ladies, we have a lot to learn from people who build multi-million dollar companies.

I urge you to take the lessons of these other businesspeople and apply them to your own company, so that next year we will see more women of color on the Forbes and Fortune lists!
