A new study by the University of Phoenix places a direct connection between morning showers and entrepreneurial success.
Expanding the initial sample of 100 volunteers, UOP added more than 1,000 domain investors to its research – most of them TRAFFIC and Domainfest veterans.
“We wanted to see how many of these fine domainers actually took a shower in the am, and how long that lasted,” said senior UOP researcher, Buddy Yankem.
“By extrapolating this data to the rate of success achieved by these domain professionals, we were able to isolate the domain investing success formula,” added Yankem, sniffing on a sample gauge while taking notes.
The fairly large sample of domain investors provided plenty of valuable information, and the results can be defined as follows:
- Most successful domainers take a shower between 5am and 7am.
- Longer showers during that same time frame generate more ideas about start ups and joint ventures.
- The use of natural fragrances in the shower versus commercial “sports” gels leads to a higher success rate.
- Domainers with bald or shaved heads focus more on their ideas in the shower, instead of having to fumble for shampoo.
- The longer the shower, the better a domain investor smells, which leads to higher recognition among their peers at domain conferences.
The findings will be published in the Austin Ventures Entrepreneur Weekly, along with an article about domain investor, Morgan Linton, who rated in the top 1% of the shower takers.
