Hello Richard Branson. Don’t you think it’s time that we have a talk?
Nice comments!! The only tiny tiny error is that Virgin records does not
have the Centrifugal Satz Clock on it.
Richard Branson is one of those people who make the world better by
providing services and improving peoples lives in the process.
“You shouldn’t blindly accept a leader’s advice. You’ve got to question
leaders on occasion.” – Richard Branson
I wish to open a few hundred homes for the needy around the world … I
wish to do it for the glory of GOD … and I wonder if Richard Branson is
willing to put his money in something alike since he is well known as a
philanthropist …. like Sheldon Adelson. Don´t bother to answer… I know
where they all stand.
My big difficulty is that in starting up my business, Im too much of a
perfectionist to ever finish the final product (I might need a legal
deadline to kick me up to that), but also that in some ways I’d rather do
something like join the army, go to help other people and all that. I dont
know
Success is all about corruption. Opportunity & resources that most slaves
cannot obtain. It is that simple !!! Just my opinion.
Why is he shaking? I hope he doesn’t have Parkinson’s or something… I
love this guy. He’s so inspiring!
cool
What a pathetic crap! First, take care about marketing. Then about selling.
And then about investing. Simply, because, all “crowd-pleasers” won`t tell
you about it.
A compony is just a bunch of people … so true and so simple. And how many
“leaders” realize that ?!
Some straight forward but easily forgotten advice from Richard Branson.
Thanks for sharing +Big Think
For inspiration, the art of delegation…You want to build a brand that will
flourish for generations and generations;) TGIF!
*A stellar video by Richard Branson.*
Richard, can I borrow a billion dollars? THX!
To sum up use your ears. Next go by what your heart says try try try.
Be honest by doing what you capable of.
Do not put to much on your plate when starting off. Takes money to make
money in this world today that cost more to live.. You could try mining to
start, just like how they did in the old days, using your hands and body to
make money the hard way..
Fill sorry for the young kids about news paper boys that are not needed
anymore, that was good start for our kids to learn how to work at young age
well they can still mow and wash cars. Today they just play games using
fingers only and do not think about growing up this is not healthy to..
Once you have a product you can think about marketing only if you know it
is worth marketing this will take lot your time up may cost lot to find out
worth going forward to the next stage, no the cost and the risk.
Idea, Invent low cost energy we needed it. Things like the Cyclone Engine
runs clean on anything that burns even your grass clippings, it uses no oil
zero-waste engine what could you do with it, is about to come out soon
thanks to help of Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research
and Cyclone Power Technologies Inc..
Japan has new idea just may work and be good idea if the cost is, they will
beam sun solar rays down to earth to create a solar energy plant they are
now planning on why not try try try.
ahhhm anddd ahhhm and andd ahhhhm annnnd
Kicking out an annoying bank manager and using your other, highly
successful companies for obtaining credit, is a fairly straightforward
idea. . . unless you only have one company.
I love it how he is stoned.
stop Vibrating your head sir richard..! it annoys me! joke :-)
Branson had dyslexia and had poor academic performance as a student, but
later discovered his ability to connect with others.[9] On one of Branson’s
last days at school, his headmaster, Robert Drayson, told him he would
either end up in prison or become a millionaire.[10]

take uh… a drink uh… every time he uh……
I bet his old bank was Chase
Gemigames needs to man up and quit with the loser attitude. Those evil
elites you talk about organize the production of, well, ALL of your
products. “The people” are fine but they need “the elites” to organize them
for a purpose. ” The people” will always fail miserably trying to assume
this role.
for a billionaire, he stammer and hammers a lot. But, guess he make good
business decision. That’s the key thing.
Passion + Motivation + Good Fortune + Courage + Trust = Success
Branson’s biggest contribution to modern management thinking and practice
is not so much his successful brand of entrepreneurial colour and
creativity (as important as that is) . . . His most important contribution
is the exemplary evidence he presents for empowering people through
delegation, and his continued declarations of the pivotal importance of
building self-efficacy in others.
Brilliant as usual. Understands humans and has his ego in check.
My granfather once told me “you have two ears and one mouth. Use them
accordingly..”
Best advice I ever heard.
Great you’re as always!!
give me my desire my king im a cool-cat!
Banks are there for me, I am not there for them.
Praising people will make them flourish ~ this does make for a rare and
successful leader. Too often leaders do not praise a job well done to
employees and team members.
Most entrepreneurs are not necessarily great leaders. But leaders who are
entrepreneurs will be most successful.

3:26 “Give them the freedom to make mistakes.” He said a lot of good things
in this video, but I think this was one of the more important parts of
delegation.
“Remember all the time what a company is… a company is simply a group of
people.” – Sir +Richard Branson
He’s right about cash flow. I almost lost my business once when my
customers took long to pay. Fortunately, I was able to get extended terms
from my suppliers and was able to pull through. There isn’t much margin on
the product I produce so it seems like cash is going out the door just as
fast as it comes in. I’d drop my bank if they pulled that on me too.
What if I don’t want to lead others, just be independent and not be lead by
anyone’?
