Heartening advice
- I recommend you to this book. Lot of self - advertising but beyond are some strong lessons from an old dog.

Inspiring book
highly recommended read especially if you want to grow your business with good ethics to sustain our future. I hope I have the opportunity to do this at the level of Richard Branson. I'm confident I will.

Crash course on Entrepreneuship from the master
This book is 10 times better than any course or anything you would or could learn in a university. Richard Branson's sense of humor is an added plus.

I just expected much more
It's great story for beginners, but without details, routines, etc. It's interesting book, but after Steve Jobs book - this book is very soft.

A good listen
I just could not make myself switch off this audio book. It is very good. Justifiably he does talk about climate change. Having his own airline and be concerned about climate did not sit well with me.
Overall a great book is worth 11 and 45 mins worth of listening time.

Simply brilliant
Firstly you have to accept that RB has an ego and that it is so embedded in his writing that some of the statements may make you cough a little. Once you accept this you are listening to a riveting yarn.
I read this on the beach last year and the the book is full of my 'red written notes'. I felt that the audio book would be a good tool to supplement and enhance the lessons I already took.
It is a must for those like me who are both entrepreneurial and contrarian in business.
Enjoy his work and learn from him. He is very good.

Self promoting
I have read a couple of versions of Branson's biography and got this book to get a better understanding of his decision making process. It gave me that and contained some previously unknown (to me) facts about his businesses, how they got started, etc. what is encouraging is the fact that some of the more successful companies/ideas had been rejected by the Virgin 'dragons den' selection team. Which just goes to prove that luck is often the deciding factor - the difference between making it or not.

Not great. "Screw it, lets do it" is my preference
A bit disappointing in comparison to "Screw it, lets do it" which was fantastic. Has put me off the Branson books, which is a shame. It may have been the dry delivery of the Narrator, but the overall style of the book seemed to have moved away from previous Branson books.
