These interviews are not conducted with the "normal type of CEO", such as Jack Welsh, or Donald Trump or whoever. Refreshingly, these interviews are conducted with other, lesser known CEOs.
I just read one interview with Bob Parson, the CEO of GoDaddy.com. I know I had my issues with them, a while back, but in the meantime, they have improved a lot. At least on servicing my side and x.
He tells the story about GoDaddy and how he and his friends tried to meddle their way to success in the end of the 1990s. The company nearly went bankrupt - losses of US300,000-400,000 a month and it was all his cash since he was the only investor. Okay while this is not the typical start-up (who can afford such personal losses, even in Malaysian Ringgit?).
What I liked is the part when he was close to giving up and took a final trip to think through about ways to close down the company and related procedures.
Coming back from the trip, he says that he "saw a guy parking cars one day and the guy seemed really happy doing that and I decided that if the business went broke then I could always park cars."
Okay - it is not the dream of every entrepreneur to end up like this, but what I believe he is trying to say is that there is always a way forward. Fail Forward Fast, one of Tom Peters favourite saying comes true here. The spirit of gung-ho, let's do it, go for it etc. Or, in a different manner, that the universe will take care of you, in the end.
