I want to add one more thing to this.

It comes from a friend of mine recently worked very closely with Graham Hawkes, Chris Welsh and Richard Branson for Virgin Oceanic.

Rule #16
Delegate to focused people you trust

Matt (the friend) said that when he was working with Chris Welsh and Graham Hawkes that they would focus on details. They did everything that they did extremely well.

He said you talk to Hawkes and Welsh about details and you talk to Branson about vision. He has no interest in details because he is able to delegate his visions details.

dear income dairy

Your team should do more tips and lessons from top entrepreneurs.

Being an entrepreneur, it inspires you to do great things and knowing these great people have been in our shoes and started up their businesses, inspires me.

Success from school is different from success in life, this is so so true, much like school smart and street smart. If i have to choose one, I would definitely choose the later, what about you?

“Do good, have fun, and the money will come”

If only it were that easy. If it were, the economy would be vitalized and more people would be wealthy, but alas, it is not so. It’s more like, “build a network, leverage your network, do good, have fun, and MAYBE the money will come.” lol

Great article, although it should include the people who helped Branson achieve his success. No man is an island, and nothing great was ever achieved alone. We all stand on the backs of giants, and it’s important to acknowledge those made our successes possible.
