Get a front row seat and see Richard in London on July 2nd
Richard’s got such a clear and simple view of doing business it’s quite an inspiration. I’ve dug in and read a few of his books, I’ve even took a plane to see him in Canada in 2009 live.
Strangely enough I must admit he’s quite an inspiration just to listen to, and his insightful, hype-free genuine insights on business are gems to hear, digest and apply.
Listening to a man that believes he can do whatever he puts his mind to with the help of the right people has a certain energy to it. It’s an uplifting energy.
Believing you can do and achieve whatever you want is quite freeing, especially from those taunts of doubt.
And being free is a wonderful feeling for action to arise from. Whether you’re in business or not I would recommend just being in the same room as Richard when you get the chance, you’ll take away far more than some business insights.
For me it’s impacted the way I bring up my kids let alone do business.
I’ve heard it whispered on the grape vine that you can see Richard in London on or around the 2nd of July (I found the info with more details here).
So: “What if the world was your oyster, and you believed you could do whatever you put your mind to.. could you make an impact to positively effect the lives of others..?”
Personally I think this is an ideal opportunity to see and meet Richard in London… no plane flights for me this time around. There’s even a chance of having drinks and a meal with him, if you choose to.
Just to experience the type of energy this man has about him is an instruction in itself.
There’s more details of location, times and a choice of options here.
Let me know what you think.. if you do choose to go let me know… we could meet up for lunch.

“When you’re building a business from scratch, the key word for many years is “survival.” It’s tough to survive. In the beginning you haven’t got the time or energy to worry about saving the world. You’ve just got to fight to make sure you can look after your bank manager and be able to pay the bills. Literally, your full concentration has to be on surviving.” I love this one.. thanks for inspiring me to dig this up..

“A good leader does not get stuck behind a desk. I’ve never worked in an office – I’ve always worked from home – but I get out and about, meeting people. It seems I am traveling all the time but I always have a notebook in my back pocket to jot down questions, concerns or good ideas.” I love quotes from Richard, he’s so inspiring. Thanks for the vid.

“As a leader you have to be a really good listener. You need to know your own mind but there is no point in imposing your views on others without some debate. No one has a monopoly on good ideas or good advice.” Branson is so cool.

Here’s another quote guys..”Obviously, if you don’t survive, just remember that most businesses fail and the best lessons are usually learned from failure. You must not get too dispirited. Just get back up and try again.” So, so realistic.. way to go. Thanks guys

What about this one:
“And you know, I’ve had great fun turning quite a lot of different industries on their head and making sure those industries will never be the same again, because Virgin went in and took them on.”

“The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want.”

“If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!” I think this says alot of what you’re all picking up on. We’ll have to book a group table at this rate.

The world doesn’t need more people playing small. It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop needing and start leading. It’s time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s time you started playing the game of life in a “big” way.

Yes this is one that I love too:
“The size of the problem is never the issue — what matters is the size of you!”

“Your income can grow only to the extent that you do.” So Richard must be some big big guy internally. I think I’ll look into this.

If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.
Richard just leads the way in this I think.. might see you there.
