In Richard Branson’s Mind the Sky is Not the Limit
Richard Branson is a super successful serial entrepreneur who built a vast empire with the Virgin brand. Richard is a creative, irreverent and funny guy and we all can learn from his success. Sir Richard’s (Richard is a Britt who has been knighted by the Queen) next ambition is to take you into space and kick start a whole new industry of space tourism. He dreams of taking us all into space some day – given his record of success I would not bet against him.
In the last article we had the privilege of listening to Tony Robbins at TED Talks, an annual conference that gathers the thoughts of most interesting minds in the world. Continuing the TED Talks series, I would like to share with you the fascinating story of Richard Branson, who left school at the age of 15. He was dyslexic and could not function in a formal school environment and yet he succeeded beyond many people’s dreams.
Richard was once told he was either going to go to prison or become a millionaire. That prediction was wrong. Richard actually did both.
In the following 30 minute interview at TED Talks Richard Branson touches on a variety of topics from capitalistic philanthropy to global warming. Enjoy the show:
This self-confessed maverick was taught by his mother from an early age to stand on his own two feet. He did much more than that and yet never lost his sense of humor. Richard is a fascinating character with an intriguing entrepreneurial mind. He is also an inspiration to many people and we hope you also got inspired by him in your journey to success.
