Richard Branson: The Life and Business Lessons of Richard Branson

Rate this book
Do you want to know what made Richard Branson so successful? This book offers an introduction to Branson, his businesses and the lessons that they teach us. It is not a text book nor a biography, but more of a cheat sheet for reading on the bus or in the bathroom, so that you can pick out the most significant points without having to carry around a bag of weighty tomes. You can read it all in one sitting, or look up specific case studies as and when you are looking for inspiration or direction. The key lessons outlined here are drawn from interviews Branson has given over his more than 40 years in business, from the numerous blogs and articles written by him and about him, and, most importantly, from the successes and failures of many of his commercial ventures. Though his theories and analysis are certainly important, and this book does indeed give them credence, the hardcore details of what worked and what didn’t, combined with the reasons why, are the most useful sources you have as a businessman, whether you are following in Branson’s footsteps as an entrepreneur, or contemplating his businesses from afar.

This is a great book for anyone who likes to learn about the economy and how to make money. It also talks about never giving up and believing in yourself and your ideas.

The fastest I have ever finished a book. I wish there was more to it than this, the chapters are small, simple and I could easily grasp the nuances of the businesses mentioned herein. I think I will need to pick up Branson's autobiagraphy. This book has raised my curiosity levels.

Never give up

Once a role or opportunity is there for the taking,it is quickly snapped up,that's how he keeps ahead of the game. A well written book, which shows the many sides of such a shrewd business man.

It gives some about his business life and private life. getting into numbers too deep, is boring. Hardly any info about his personal life.
