Sir Richard: “I have a long held a fascination with volcanoes having read Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” as a young lad. I decided that one day I would go there too.

The Invisible Branson By Richard 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.

Richard Branson Reach For The Skies Hardcover

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.

Richard Branson Kindle Book Screw It Lets Do It

Richard Branson Screw It, Let's Do It!
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 (Gaia Capitalism is an economic and social model that acknowledges, respects and benefits all components of the Whole) 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 to new and exciting areas, such as launching Virgin Fuels, into which Virgin is currently moving.
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.

SpaceShip2 Landing Mohave
Virgin Galactic has confirmed an order from NASA for up to three charter flights on its privately-built spacecraft to provide opportunities for engineers, technologists, and scientific researchers to conduct cutting-edge experiments in suborbital space.
The agreement calls for NASA to charter a full flight from Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline, and includes options for two additional charter flights. If all options are exercised, the contract value is worth $ 4.5 million.
These research flights mark an important milestone for Virgin Galactic. Although generally referred to as a space tourism company, Virgin Galactic has already collected more than $58 million in deposits from 455 future tourist astronauts.
Providing access to space to researchers and their experiments is viewed by Virgin Galactic as both a future mission segment and a significant business opportunity… Read More from: Virgin Galactic – Latest News
