The Invisible Branson By Richard Branson Book

The Invisible Branson Book

The Invisible Branson

The question is: Why has Sir Richard Branson been so successful in business? What are his secrets to success? And, why hasn’t everyone followed in his footsteps?

This unique new book sheds light into why so many business owners and managers have not been able to put into practice the qualities that have made Richard Branson so highly successful.

Authors Louise Woodbury and William de Ora say that it is possible for every entrepreneur to tap into their greatness, their ‘inner Branson,’ to realize their full potential and have their business become an outrageous success. And, it’s far easier than you would ever believe.

Woodbury and de Ora challenge the readers by asking, “Imagine living every day with excitement, passion and belief that anything is possible for you, your business and your team?”

Identify What Is Preventing Your Success

Woodbury and de Ora argue that the only thing that prevents you from being successful is yourself. Your success has nothing to do with money, time, logic, or external circumstances. It has everything to do with you and your level of self-worth and belief.

If you are truly committed to breaking out of your current constraints, ready to take your business to the next level, and discover your own true greatness, then The Invisible Branson is your launching pad.

Reach for the Skies: Ballooning, Birdmen, and Blasting into Space

Richard Branson Reach For The Skies Book

Bestselling author and billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson has always been obsessed with the skies. To promote a new Virgin Airlines route, he became the first man to water ski behind a blimp.

His Virgin Galactic venture will soon offer ordinary people the opportunity to experience spaceflight aboard the first commercial spaceliner, SpaceShipTwo.

In Reach for the Skies, Branson examines the history of aviation over the last two hundred years, putting the spotlight on trailblazers such as:

* Tony Jannus, who made the first ever commercial flight over Tampa Bay, Florida, in 1914.
* Leo Valentin, the “bird man” who jumped from 9,000 feet wearing a pair of wooden wings in the 1950s.
* Steve Fossett, who broke 130 world records in planes, balloons, and airships.

The pioneers of flight-not just the world-famous Wright Brothers, but also lesser known visionaries and dreamers-made it possible for any of us with the desire and the commitment to reach for the skies ourselves.
