**Richard Branson, who has been called England's most outrageous
billionaire, is also one of the world's most successful business
leaders.**Since the age of 16, when he founded Student magazine,
Branson has been creating companies and finding innovative ways to grow
them into the prodigious conglomerate known as the Virgin Group. At the
age of 20, Branson founded a mail-order record retailer. Two years later
he built a recording studio where the first artist signed to his Virgin
label, Mike Oldfield, recorded the haunting soundtrack to The
Exorcist. Decades later, industries as varied as entertainment (Virgin
Music), retail (Virgin Megastores), transportation (Virgin Airlines),
and telecommunications (Virgin Mobile) all bear Branson's business
moniker. For the first time, the most thought-provoking, revealing, and
inspiring quotes from Branson have been compiled in a single book.
Updated and redesigned since its initial publication in 2013 as Virgin
Rebel: Richard Branson in His Own Words, this new edition is a
comprehensive guidebook to the inner workings of the Virgin Group
chairman and founder. Hundreds of Branson's best quotes, comprising
thoughts on business, music, entrepreneurship, politics, exploration,
and life lessons, provide an intimate and direct look into the mind of
this modern business icon.
