He has a book coming out in the next couple of months called "Screw It, Lets Do It."

I am not sure if it's a revised and updated version of the same title or not, but regardless I am looking forward to it!

Are you aware of the ONE item that Richard Branson has with him at all times? It is definitely NOT a cell phone!

It is a little flip top notebook that he is NEVER without! Not a PDA but a simple PAPER notebook. He has been known to take notes in the middle of a party!

Lightbulb What an entrepreneur!
Yes, Richard Branson has discovered the secret, that's a fact!

Just like my father, he had discovered the secret to success by trading items. Basically, he had staple gun advertised in the trading section of the local paper. The article read; 'Will trade staple gun for a drill'.

Once he obtained the drill, he then advertised for the drill to be traded for saw. This continued for years and now he is living on his very own Greek Island, Renominoz.

The sad thing about it is, he never told us kids about his private transactions and simply eloped with his Greek mistress, Acaciananos.

The concept of trading items is a long process but, rewarding for some...

Richard Branson is the definition of a true entrepreneur. There are very few people in this world that have accomplished as much as he has, and my hats off to him. The thing I like about Richard is that he has so much personality...he's not some hard looking business man like Trump...but way cooler.
