Well now I want to know more about Richard Branson! I’ve flown his airline, but didn’t know about his other ventures. He seems like one of those unique people who can take leaps of faith while still making sure he’ll land on his feet. Thanks for sharing him with us :~)

Yep, totally agree - it's refreshing to encounter someone who is highly regarded, yet surprisingly 'human'. I'm not sure of the significance of the dog chewing up your book! Maybe it's a sign to buy his next book (business stripped bare - I've just started it) rather than revisit the biography! Cheers Ian.   @Alex - Totally! This is exactly the type of example I was looking for. Most of what he does seems to go against the general trend. He doesn't like following rules simply for the sake of them - I think we can learn a lot from this mentality. @Ian – Hi there.

When Virgin Mobile entered Canada, he immediately started tackling the government over phone number portability, something all the Canadian cell phone companies where fighting against even though most other countries had it.

I've also admired him since I read his autobiography a few years ago. I wanted to read it again after reading your post but I just remembered that I lent it to a friend and his dog chewed it up. No idea if that's significant or not!
