I have been reading Richard Branson’s autobiography, Losing my Virginity. Richard Branson is the owner of the Virgin Empire, a serial entrepreneur, and a thrill seeker. At one point in his life a teacher told him, “Richard you are either going to end up in prison, or be a millionaire. “ Well we all know which side he ended up on, but what we can all learn from this statement is that if you want to do something remarkable, or be something remarkable, you have to be willing to break a few rules and go where no one else has gone before. Of course I am not saying that we should become hazardous to society, or that we should sacrifice our personal brand, but it is important to question the limits placed around you and to consistently take the risks that others are afraid of. With this mentality maybe one day you can have your own personal Virgin Island.
