Richard Branson

Notes - Richard Branson

• if you can run one company you can run many companies.
• owns many business's.
• Sold his record company when it was at its peak to excel more in one of his other company's.
• Take a risk.
• planning on sending people to space.
• was terrible at school didn't understand it was dyslexic left school at age of 15, if he wasn't interested in something he wouldn't carry on doing that.
• not completely book smart.
• presently 56 years of age.
• wants to feel he has made an effect on people lives when he passes away.
• at age of 4 mom made him walk 5 miles to grandmas and figure his own way of getting there.
• Having a manager doesn't equal to being your own manager use your own passion to having your own business

• An unhappy customer will tell 10 people, while a satisfied customer will tell only four people about a good experience.

 

 Final Summary

I have learned from Richard Branson that if you take risks and take chances things are achievable business is nothing it is overrated he didn't even attend school and to be successful it is up to yourself. If you can run a business you can run plenty so you should own plenty and take advantages of all of them. His past from not attending school being dyslexic and the way he grew  up really shows you can be successful in any conditions. An unhappy customer will tell 10 people, while a satisfied customer will tell only four people about a good experience. Its has a lot to do with the customer and there satisfaction you have to accept complaints and learn from them.
