Branson
384 pages, 2014
Richard Branson is not just a daring, self-made billionaire, who headlined the dot-com boom with his Virgin brand; he's a swashbuckling rebel and showman. In this first biography of Branson, British journalist Tom Bower (Fred Goodwin: Who Ran Britain?, Broken Dreams: Vanity, Greed, and the Souring of British Football) offers a scathing portrait of Branson as both entrepreneur and self-promoter.
Based on hundreds of interviews conducted with Branson's associates, employees, friends, and family members, Bower's book draws a damning picture of the man once known as Britain's greatest entrepreneur.
In Branson, Tom Bower explores the life of Richard Branson, a man who isn't afraid to take risks. From starting his own record label to launching a space tourism company, Branson's story shows us that stepping out of our comfort zone can lead to incredible success.
Bower's book shows us how Branson constantly pushed the boundaries of what was possible. He didn't just follow the crowd, he innovated. This book will inspire you to think outside the box and find new ways to achieve your goals.
Branson's journey wasn't always smooth sailing. He faced numerous setbacks and failures, but he never let them stop him. This book will encourage you to see failure not as a roadblock, but as a stepping stone to success.
One thing that stands out in Branson's story is his passion. He loved what he did and that passion drove him to achieve great things. This book will remind you of the importance of finding and pursuing your passion.
Branson wasn't just a businessman, he was a leader. He inspired his team to believe in his vision and work towards it. This book will help you understand the qualities of a good leader and how you can develop them.
