The one with Richard Branson



Virgin Unite is the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group. They unite people to tackle tough social and environmental problems in entrepreneurial ways. As the overheads of Virgin Unite are covered by Richard and the Virgin Group 100% of additional donations go to the front line where they are needed the most, for example, to support young entrepreneurs in South Africa, or homeless teenagers all over the world, or to stop young girls from suffering with fistula.
We support Virgin Unite, please get on board and do the same at http://www.VirginUnite.com. Still need to be inspired? You can join Virgin Unite and Richard for their incredible leadership gatherings around the world.

3 important lessons I’ve learnt from this eye opening interview with Richard Branson
1. You can become a good delegator and people’s person in place of understanding the technical aspects of a particular business or industry.
2. Once you’re able to “climb over that wall” and feel secure, that’s when you can really start to have fun with business.
3. Asking yourself the question, What business activities would you do on an on going bases that would allow you to self sustain and make money even if you get eaten by a shark tomorrow?
Thanks for the eye opening interview Joe. It’s always great learning and gaining insights from those who have a passion for business and just from the vibe in the room that day when you recorded the video, it really helps instill a lot of confidence to any business owners/entrepreneurs who are going through this endeavor in their lives right now. Thanks so much

Thank you so much for putting this together for us and for giving me insight that I know is going to lead to a much better quality of life. One of the biggest ah-ha moments was his distinction between manager and entrepreneur. I thought I had to be both! This (along with the rest of the interview) is a life-changing lesson and I’m very very grateful that you worked so hard to share this with us.

Great job. The Joe and Yanik show is always entertaining, educational and fun, especially in Necker.
Richard is spot on: be in service, care more about others than yourself, inspire, support, develop your team and of course, be outrageous.
