Book Description

2 Mar 2006 Quick Reads

Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In Screw It, Let's Do It, I will share with you my ideas and the secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they'll help you achieve your individual goals.

Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will draw on Gaia Capitalism to explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business.

In Screw It, Let's Do It I'll be looking forwards to the future. A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I'll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and the new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin Fuels - into which Virgin is currently moving.

But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success.

Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages.

Book Description

SIR RICHARD BRANSON SHARES HIS SECRETS OF SUCCESS AND EXCITING PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

From the Inside Flap

Throughout my life I have always strived for success - as a businessman, in my adventures, as an author and a proud father and husband. I want to share the many truths I've learned along the road to success which have helped me to be the best I can. They include: Have faith in yourself; Believe that anything can be done; Live life to the full; Never give up. Learn these and other simple truths, and I hope you will be inspired to get the most out of your life and to achieve your goals. People will always try to talk you out of ideas and say: 'It can't be done,' but if you have faith in yourself you'll find you can achieve almost anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this book 9 Mar 2006
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
It's quick, it's easy, it's not preachy, it's positive. It's packed full of good advice and examples from Richard Branson's own life. He calls them his "lessons in life". He also says, "A journey of a thousand miles starts with that first step" -- and he's right. Reading this book, by the friendly genius that the media has dubbed a maverick in paradise, could be that first step to a positive and fulfilling life and perhaps a wealthy one. He says he can't tell people how to get rich fast and he doesn't have any secrets to success; all he has is "truths" and examples that worked for him and could work for you. Making money isn't his first goal -- having fun and doing good are. But he says if you have fun, then the money will come -- and explains why he says it. Every chapter is filled with his philosophy, spelled out in a simple and direct way. Chapter headings like "Just Do It!" "Be Bold"; "Have Fun!"; "Challenge Yourself"; "Value Family and Friends" are useful guides for everyone to follow. It's a great little book to read at odd moments. I read it all the way through in less than an hour, and instantly felt driven and motivated to get cracking with that project I've been putting off. Everyone should read this book and every teenager should be given a copy. It could be resonsible for turning things around and producing a society of motivated go-getters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Branson knows best 7 April 2006
Format:Paperback
This is a good book with quick wisdom, but beware! it's most of all a summary of Branson's autobiography "Losing My virginity". It is still great, Branson talks in a very down to earth manner, but for more details and wisdom on how he succeeded in business I would definitely recommend by miles his Autobiography.

So, if you are intrigued about Branson's life this is a very good quick summary, which then if you like it, you should definitely read his autobiography.

All in all an inspiring read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow the Leader!!! 28 Aug 2006
By Graham TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I liked this book. Easy to read, easy to follow and unlike some other high powered businessmen, Richard Branson doesn't seem to have a big ego.

I like Richard Branson's honest and straight-forward approach to writing. No holds barred, straight-to-the-point prose. I enjoyed the book on two accounts. I am a businessman and I want to learn how Sir Richard has succeeded, but secondly, since I have read his other books, I enjoy his style and his books are a great read in any case.

So if you need to pick up a few business pointers - on how to succeed or fail even, or you just want an easy quick read, then I recommend this book.

I would have given the book 5 but I tend to think it is a bit pricy for a short book.
