You need to know exactly where you stand in a business at all times. Measure everything, because everything that is measured and watched improves.
Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new. Make it your goal to be better each and every day, in some small way. Remember the Japanese concept of Kaizen. Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
When you're ready to quit, you are closer than you think
No matter how difficult your situation is, you can get through it if you don’t look too far into the future, and focus on the present moment. You can get through anything one day at a time.
Never stop investing. Never stop improving. Never stop doing something new.
The proposed agreement is a bad deal for our customers and the Internet community as a whole. We will fight to convince the ICANN Board of Directors not to accept it.
You didn't have what we see today. There wasn't some guy out there dressed up like a farmer. No one ran around in a suit.
We're excited to tell the Internet community that the best domain value on the 'Net just got better,

Go Daddy is not just a job; it's a way of life. These people (employees) work hard, and offering great incentives is fun and productive for the company.
Go Daddy firmly believes that it has a moral duty and responsibility to help our fellow Americans in the wake of this terrible catastrophe. We absolutely must share our financial resources with those in need. Having donated funds to AmeriCares earlier this year in response to the tsunami, we didn't think twice about donating to AmeriCares again since their funds go directly to those people who are in dire need.
