GoDaddy.com CEO Bob Parsons tells about his "Worst Case Scenario" In Playboy.

I know Bob Parsons. I used to work for him when he owned Parsons Technology, in Hiawatha, Iowa. PT was once a Fortune 500 computer software company that Bob started out of the basement in his house. He sold it to Intuit and later founded GoDaddy.com - a domain registration company that has registered more than 45% of the planet's domain names - 33.5 million names.

I've always liked Bob. Some people don't. He was a big supporter of Theater Cedar Rapids while I was performing there (and working for him) and, for that, I am appreciative. Ex-Marine. Tough. Chauvinistic at times. Misogynistic maybe. Outspoken. Whatever. In the April issue of Playboy, Bob wrote a column, "Worst Case Scenario", elaborating on his "credo" of sorts.

"...be flexible, not to accept what life gives you at face value and never to make decisions based on fear. You come up with something you think will work, the you put everything you have into it. When times get tough you judge what your worst-case scenario is, assume it's going to happen and get back to work. Anything you get on top of that is gravy, baby."
