I recently read this book and wanted to put it on the Geek Guru Book Club list. It’s the basic life story of Richard Branson, the billionair entreperner who built the Virgin empire. This book covers 14 great lessons Richard Branson explains through his life stories. This book is very inspiring and should get you thinking about how it doesn’t take a look to get started.
Almost every entreprener I have met has interestes that are all over the board. Richard Branson is no different and has started and built his Virgin empire in various different markets and verticles. He began his empire with Student, a managzine that covers various political news and celebrity insight. It still is amazing that even in 1966, a student only stixteen years old was running a magazine.
As almost anything that Mr. Branson does in his life, he tries to have fun while doing it. They are some great stories of Richard flying around the world on hot air balloons, as well as some frieghtnen tails of crashes. Richard is very bold and has been in markets such as the airline business, mobile phone business, and record business. Most companies stay close to their roots, but for Richard, Virgin is a brand that has fun and works hard.
Virgin Galactic is the next big initiative that Richard is building. For $200,000 USD you will soon be able to fly to outer-space. Since 2005 Virgin Galactic has been booking tickets, just $20,000 down will get your name on the waiting list. So if you have some cash to burn, sign up and plan for outer-space.
