Last week I was fortunate to spend some time with mega-successful entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson and 100 other top entrepreneurs.
Branson conceived the Virgin Group in 1970 and it has gone on to grow very successful businesses (Virgin Mobile & Virgin Airlines to name a few) in numerous sectors.1
We had a chance to ask Sir Richard questions and here are five Success Tips he shared:
Success Tip #1…
Your business life starts at home – pick a good partner and respect them for who they are.
Success Tip #2…
The biggest challenge business owners run up against is being risk averse. At some point, you have to just say, “Screw it, let’s do it!”
Success Tip #3…
It’s important to keep fit – you’ve only got one body. Try to find fun ways to do it.
Success Tip #4…
Praise your team/employees – never criticize them. Treat them right and they’ll do anything for you.
Success Tip #5…
Don’t take yourself too seriously!
I found it fascinating that when one of us asked a question of Sir Richard, he would often respond by asking a question back; he seemed genuinely interested in us as individuals and it tied right into Success Tip #4. Sir Richard simply makes you feel that you matter. And he always looks for the best in people.
Sounds like a blueprint for a life well-lived!
