Sir Richard Branson was perhaps one of the most eye-opening experiences I’ve had in my life as an entrepreneur. Along with several other world-class entrepreneurs that spent time at Richard’s private island, Necker Island, I had the incredible opportunity to experience first-hand why it is that Richard has achieved a level of success most people will only ever dream about. As one of the most admired and respected entrepreneurs in the world today, Richard is the flamboyant billionaire who has not only built a business empire with over 55,000 employees, but is also having incredible social impact around the world. Branson is the #1 hero to entrepreneurs around the world, but what many do not realize is that his success comes from having a very simple approach to how he lives his days. Would you be a better entrepreneur if you knew what Richard Branson’s ‘secret’ is? Richard has an incredibly simple outlook on life, and that’s exactly how he is able to create such incredible success and momentum – because he takes complex business and ideas, and approaches them with simplicity and clarity. Are you the next Richard Branson? Take the Richard Branson Test below, and find out whether you’ve got what it takes to build an empire, and change the world at the same time! Answer the following questions on a scale of 1 – 10, with 1 being “absolutely NO”, and 10 being “100% YES!” 1. Is making a difference for others in the world important to you? 2. Are you making a difference for others in the world in a significant way RIGHT NOW? 3. Do you experience an abundance of joy, pleasure and fulfillment from what you do each day? And finally, the toughest question .. Which would you rather do: (1) Live only 10 more years, but accomplish all of your life’s dreams and goals .. OR .. (2) Live to 100 years old, but never achieve any of the goals and dreams you have? Spend a few minutes thinking about these questions, and HONESTLY answer them for yourself. Don’t worry, no one’s looking over your shoulder! This is pointless if you’re not completely honest with yourself. In my next blog post, I’ll share with you how Richard would answer these questions, and give you my first-hand account of what I think Richard’s true ‘secret’ of success is!]]>
