Richard Branson


Richard Branson is an extremely succesful entrepreneur, best known for his virgin brand of over 360 companies. After watching his intreview, I have learned three very important lessons:
1. you don't have to be academically smart to succed in business as an entrepreneur. Richard Branson did terribly in his academics at school and in fact left school at the age of 15, and was still a huge success.
2. The stereotype of being a business man and having to do dirty things such as stabbing people in the back in order to succed is not true one bit. Richard Branson has been accused of being one of these types of business men when in fact he is not.
3. You don't always have to just focus on one company, having many companies and always expanding is much more benefical. Look at all of Richard Bransons companies and how much success he has had even though most of his businesses aren't in a sense "huge" businesses.
