James Sealy has written an ²article about the successful businessman, ³Richard Branson. ⁴Mr Sealy is clearly an admirer of Richard Branson who lists Branson's successes, such as his Virgin Record label, and finds positive aspects even where there have been business failures, noting how Richard Branson 'doesn't let it bother him' but 'moves on to the next venture.'

The article lists Mr Branson's ventures in chronological order starting with his schooldays when he published a school magazine. After school he sold records by post and then opened a record shop in the centre of London, which wasn't very successful. Mr Branson first became successful when he invested money in a record, called 'Tubular Bells', which no one else was interested in but which became a huge hit. He then started his own record label and concentrated on the music business for the next ten years.

The article doesn't explain why he expanded his business interests away from music, but in 1984 he started an airline, Virgin Atlantic, which flew from Britain to the Americas. Other businesses mentioned in the article include Virgin Cola and Virgin Trains. His latest venture, set up in 2004, is Virgin Galactic which offers flights into space for £200,000 a ticket.

Away from business, Branson's hobbies involve travelling at speed and trying to break records, and ⁵Mr Sealy suggests that these hobbies reflect Branson's view of business and that the reason for his success is his enjoyment of what he does. I'm not sure this is true, and I don't think you can make any comparisons between his business and free-time activities.
