Publisher's summary

This book reveals who the real Sir Richard Branson is. We will tell you that he is not the playboy one might think he is, and he is actually not as rich as people think he is – he is richer.

There are a lot of errors out there in the public domain about Richard, and we will bring those errors to a close in this book.

When people think of Richard Branson, most would likely think of the Virgin group or think of Virgin Airlines. It is indeed the case that the product has overtaken the man.

This book will inform you that, without a doubt, the man and the brand are totally unlike each other, and that the man behind the brand is really a highly empathic person who, until recently, did not know how to read a balance sheet.

What he brings to the table is not MBA-level business acumen or strategy. What he brings to the table is a brand that represents unyielding quality and class.

The Virgin brand is not just a group of companies that belong to Richard. It is a flagship of companies where Richard is the principal investor and lends his name to the business. This is a highly beneficial arrangement, and we will tell you in this book how all this came to be.

From Virgin Records to his labs that do advanced energy research. It’s all covered.

Don’t wait any longer! Buy now to learn more about the man behind Virgin.

Like this guy

Like this guy. His brain works different; a superior, unusual way.

His advertisements; he risks his life flying up in the air to entertain, show his company, products!

Incredible listen based on the lifestyle of sir Ri

A lot of what I got from this book is a lot of information that I already knew. That is why I gave it five stars, because it was able to concisely state what I have believed for a very longtime. Trans formative technology is always going to be a game changer.

Game changing book

For me, I really clicked with Richards background, his way of thinking, and outlook on conquering the path in front of you. I listen this book few weeks ago and it sparked a big interest in listening biographies. This book was eye opening, inspiring, and I really enjoyed how Richard 'Kept it real.

Inspiration ahead!

As a business owner myself, I highly recommend this book. Richard proves that you can do things right, treat people well, and still be highly successful. And, according to Richard, have a ton of fun in the process (I'm still working on that one!).
