16 Rules of Success, the American Way

Although I personally don't like GoDaddy's approach to over-using women and suggestive commercial clips in marketing, I like their founder's (Bob Parson's) 16 rules of success in Business. I firmly believe these are indeed essential "rules of success" in projects, whether in Business or life, at least in America and when dealing with Americans:

1. Get and stay out of your "comfort zone." 2. Never give up. 3. When you are ready to quit, you're closer than you think. 4. Accept the worst possible outcome. 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.
