Every End has a Beginning

The movie world didn’t come to a halt when Marlon Brando or Rock Hudson, Cary Grant & Jimmy Stewart faded away. It continued with Al Pacino & Jack Nicholson. People didn’t stop watching movies when Tom Cruise and Richard Gere took over and they are now as much entertained watching George Clooney. James Bond 007 didn’t vanish with Sean Connery. He continued in Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and now in Daniel Craig. When oil was first dug in 1800s it was neither as much in demand nor as useful as it became once autos hit the road. Imagine how amazed the guys of 1800s would be if they were to be here today!

Try and Try Again- You Will Win at last!

Money is not everything but you need a lot of it to do many things in life. But then you have to really work for it! Take for example, Dr. Kevin Ham, a 37-year-old Canadian doctor from Vancouver who founded Reinvent Technology, generating well over $1 million a week from various domain-related ventures with a portfolio of approximately 300,000 domain names. He did not become what he is today, overnight. Another classic example is the 38-year-old Frank Schilling of Name Administration, Inc with a portfolio worth well into the nine figures, generating estimated annual revenue around $20 million dollars every year. That’s $1.7M every month. Schilling built his phenomenal domain empire in just five years when everyone else thought the game was already getting over.

Most people take up one line of job, profession or business, and spend the rest of their lives in it. Very few have the courage and capacity to invest their time, money and energy into diversified interests and try their hands in other fields for passion or money. Look at Leonardo Da Vinci who was skilled in both art and science, using both sides of their brain. Whatever job or business you are in, it is well worth investing your time and monies in domain names. It is a never ending field.

Irrespective what is going on at the economic front globally, activities at business front continue. Domain fests, conferences, auctions are continuously happening not quietly but with a lot of noise. The fifth annual Domain Roundtable conference is set to take place in June in Washington DC. This year’s theme is ‘Reaching Beyond: Shaping our Future Together’. Whatever may be the field of business, there is enough and more for every one. Domain name race hasn’t stopped with dot com extensions alone! The registry for Guadeloupe is offering more dot GP names that could be associated with ‘grand prix’. NIC Brasil has announced registrations will be possible for NET.BR. The European Commission is celebrating three years of the dot EU. dot EU racked up over 700,000 registrations within 24 hours of being available to register and by the end of the first week there were 1.5 million registrations. Newer and newer extensions are born keeping up with the demand and interest of society. Imagination is the limit! First grab a suitable name. Then build your domain platform. Then you have the entire world to reach out.

Opportunities don’t find you. You have to actively go seeking them. Achieving success often involves taking risks. Some times your calculations may go wrong, but then you have to continue till you start adding more zeros to your bank balance! The end goal doesn’t have to be money alone as to make you wonder what to do with it when you get there! Set your goal. Run. Reach it. Reap the fruits. Have a feast!
