"Oh, screw it, let's do it."
That's the philosophy that has allowed Richard Branson, in slightly more than twenty-five years, to spawn so many successful ventures. From the airline business (Virgin Atlantic Airways), to music (Virgin Records and V2), to cola (Virgin Cola), to retail (Virgin Megastores), and nearly a hundred others, ranging from financial services to bridal wear, Branson has a track record second to none.
Losing My Virginity is the unusual, frequently outrageous autobiography of one of the great business geniuses of our time. When Richard Branson started his first business, he and his friends decided that "since we're complete virgins at business, let's call it just that: Virgin." Since then, Branson has written his own "rules" for success, creating a group of companies with a global presence, but no central headquarters, no management hierarchy, and minimal bureaucracy.
Many of Richard Branson's companies--airlines, retailing, and cola are good examples--were started in the face of entrenched competition. The experts said, "Don't do it." But Branson found golden opportunities in markets in which customers have been ripped off or underserved, where confusion reigns, and the competition is complacent.
And in this stressed-out, overworked age, Richard Branson gives us a new model: a dynamic, hardworking, successful entrepreneur who lives life to the fullest. Family, friends, fun, and adventure are equally important as business in Branson's life. Losing My Virginity is a portrait of a productive, sane, balanced life, filled with rich and colorful stories:
Crash-landing his hot-air balloon in the Algerian desert, yet remaining determined to have another go at being the first to circle the globe
Signing the Sex Pistols, Janet Jackson, the Rolling Stones, Boy George, and Phil Collins
Fighting back when British Airways took on Virgin Atlantic and successfully suing this pillar of the British business establishment
Swimming two miles to safety during a violent storm off the coast of Mexico
Selling Virgin Records to save Virgin Atlantic
Staging a rescue flight into Baghdad before the start of the Gulf War . . .
And much more. Losing My Virginity is the ultimate tale of personal and business survival from a man who combines the business prowess of Bill Gates and the promotional instincts of P. T. Barnum.

评分很好的活着的人的传记。从小讲他娘亲的时候,就定了作者热爱冒险、挑战和“人生只过一次”的人生基调。中间部分有点碎,主要是virgin的发展和他个人生活的发展,和BA的官司是结尾高潮,也适合中国商人,看看如果和有政府背景的人交恶,该如何继续并翻身(有可能么)... | 听的时候,有声书偶尔有间断,巨大的噪音艹艹艹 | BA被描的好黑,不知道是否是一家之言

布兰森是我最喜爱的企业家之一,甚至没有之一。他的迷人之处在于不断挑战跨越行业、产业的边界;不循规蹈矩,不按照所谓的各种商业、品牌的定律行事。这不仅是因为个人的基因,成长环境给予的自信与魄力,我一直认为还有很多无法名状的不可言的成功之道;经常成功并没有固定的...
评分因为他一直不断的在寻找,寻找,寻找各种各样自己想做然后很简单,去做就好了,看到这个人的长相就觉得像只狮子,一只为了自己的理想而不断奋斗的狮子,周围还有很多跟班,呵呵,但是在他年轻的时候有人会说这种崇拜他的话吗?没有,这是时间和坚持和耐心带来的礼物。
