You have to admire Richard Branson. Here’s someone who just doesn’t fit the mould.
His early CV would hardly suggest him as “the most likely to succeed” – dyslexic, expelled from school and no clear direction.
You can also add to the mix attention deficit and the failure of his early start-ups.
Branson has never denied those things; rather, he has embraced them. He is a great example of the power of the easily distracted personality. Without those traits he would likely never have built such a diverse empire.
