Godaddy...

This blog digs deep, I found this on the web. I wrote this when I was relaunching InAd Advertising. I originally started InAd Advertising in California and moved it here but was overwhelmed with Union Indoor and all their locations. I decided to launch the digital side of the indoor billboard industry in Kansas City. I wrote this to Godaddy founder in June of 2005. I share it because it shows what different dilemma's we have at different times. If I only had these problems.


It was fate that I read your bio. I needed to hear what I read so I read it out loud. I am launching a company with passion and not a lot of money. I just found out that I will no longer receive insurance in this launch process. That alone is enough for me to reconsider but I know that I can succeed. It was a fluke that I stumbled upon your web site. Last week I was on a high about my new endeavours but this week I took a dive mentally. I'll be coming to you guys for any software or domain names.

Dear Michael,The mental part is always the toughest. The best way to handle the times when things get very bleak is to:1. Stay as focused as you can in the moment. Pick an important task that needs to get done (preferably the one you least want to do) and focus on doing it as well as you can. Then move on to the next one. I like to look at it like batting practice —- take each task or problem like a pitch being thrown at you. You'll either hit it or you won't. If you don't —- swing at it tomorrow.2. Look as little as you can into the future and going through scenarios that may or may not happen. Save this chore for when your spirits are soaring. I always think about something the Buddha said —- "The future is impenetrable!" That being the case, it makes sense to spend as little time worrying about it as possible.Appreciate your post,Bob
