A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I’ll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and into new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin fuels.

Throughout my life I have achieved many remarkable things. In this book I’ll share with you my ideas and secrets of my success, but not simply because I hope they’ll help you achieve your individual goals.

Today we are increasingly aware of the effects of our actions on the environment, and I strongly believe that we each have a responsibility, as individuals and organisations, to do no harm. I will explain why we need to take stock of how we may be damaging the environment, and why it is up to big companies like Virgin to lead the way in a more holistic approach to business.

A lot has changed since I founded Virgin in 1968, and I’ll explain how I intend to take my business and my ideas to the next level and into new and exciting areas - such as launching Virgin fuels.

But I have also brought together all the important lessons, good advice and inspirational adages that have helped me along the road to success.

Ironically, I have never been one to do things by the book, but I have been inspired and influenced by many remarkable people. I hope that you too might find a little inspiration between these pages.
