What makes a Virgin?

The 'Virgin' group has a reputation for not doing anything unless it can show the public that there is a better way to do something. The company structure stems from making employees happy, so they keep customers happy, and that keeps the shareholders happy.

Can anyone add to this and is your company Virgin worthy?

I read Richard Branson's book, Losing my Virginity, and he has become my business idol. He challenges the status quo and pushes on through some of the most difficult obstacles and toughest competitors to gain marketshare.

In addition to being a relentless business magnate, he is a stunt junky! Near-death high-speed boating across the Atlantic and world-wide hot-air ballooning trips. I love this guy!

He also just got 3 people killed in his virgin galactic venture. I buy into him pushing the edge, and the fact he owns one of the most amazing resorts in history, but he's had some OUTSTANDING failures.

How many of you remember the Virgin Cola, in the shape of Pamela Anderson?

There is an old cliche that says something like "you don't know success until you know failure" or "you can't really be successful until you taste failure"...

This same cliche holds true for Branson except on a much bigger scale. He has had some OUTSTANDING failures to compliment his OUTSTANDING success.

It's all relative.

Not on the topic, but I saw a big group of the Virgin Airlines flight attendants at the Orlando airport today. As an now-infamous man from Kazakhstan would say -- "NiiiiiiiCE!"
