RICHARD BRANSON ENTERPRISES
At a virgin.com website (which I presume it's his own, since his company name includes "Virgin") website Branson answers questions. This one is interesting:
What would you say are the key things that entrepreneurs need to make a successful business?
To which Branson replies in part:
Finally, I'd better not forget luck. The odd bit of luck goes a long way. We were lucky to sign Mike Oldfield and we were lucky to get hold of the Sex Pistols in 1977. We've also been lucky that people liked Virgin Atlantic's unique airline service across the Atlantic, and I was lucky to survive all my balloon and boat trips!
