What is Rule 1 of success?

Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group Ltd., controls over 400 companies.

Branson started his entrepreneurial journey with a magazine publication, and has since successfully expanded into a variety of industries, such as music, banking, aviation, space flight, healthcare, mobile phones, retail, travel, to name a few.

Branson did not excel at school as he struggled with dyslexia, and was more interested in extracurricular activities.

At the age of fifteen, he started his first business trying to grow trees. He then dropped out of high school at age sixteen.

After quitting school, he started a magazine about youth culture, called The Student.

Branson started to sell advertisements to companies trying to tap into the student market.

He then started a mail-order record company called Virgin to complement the student magazine.

As his record business expanded, Branson started his own record label, Virgin Music.

In 1984, Branson started Virgin Atlantic Airways, competing in a market dominated by British Airways.

In 1999, Branson started Virgin Mobile.

I could go on and on with a huge list of actions that Branson has started over the years.

What’s Branson’s rule 1 to success?

Branson was not a great student or a great business manager — he’s a great starter!

The first rule to success is to STOP thinking and planning about whatever you are dreaming of accomplishing in your life, and GET STARTED TODAY!

Nothing ever happens without taking action.

Buffet once gave students in an investing class at Columbia University the following advice: "Read 500 pages like this every day," Buffett said to the students, while reaching toward a stack of manuals and papers. "That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it." Well, we can all build up that knowledge. But are we really doing it? Warren Buffett says, “I just sit in my office and read all day.” What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking. This leads to what is known as the Buffet Formula: “Going to bed smarter than you woke up.” Why is that so important? We’ve been recording knowledge in books for a long time. That means there’s not a lot that’s new; it’s just recycled old knowledge. Odds are that no matter what you’re working on, someone somewhere, who is smarter than you, has

How can you improve your life?

The 18 unconventional ways to elevate your consciousness, expand your influence and ultimately improve your life. Have sex. There's something unflinchingly "human” about a sexual experience. It builds something within you that connects deeply to nature. A confidence is built. From a person who went stretches- sometimes over a year- without having sex due to deeply rooted sexual anxieties (fear of climaxing too quick, that I wasn't “good enough” in bed, distaste of one-night-encounters etc) rediscovering the feeling you get in your life while being sexually active has really made a positive impact. Introduce yourself to anyone and everyone. Human beings are social creatures by nature. With that in mind, it is imperative to make your presence known in any room you're in. Don't you hate that feeling when you're at a party or gathering, you go there with a friend and the friend doesn't introduce you to anyone? It sucks. Extreme responsibility is needed on y
