5 Online business success tips from Richard Branson

Hi Radu,

I got another chance to read this splendid article once again from you which I like very much. Keep doing this. Interesting article.

Hello! It is for the firs time reaching this blog and i found some interesting posts. Reading them I was asking myself some questions. Why some bloggers are working so hard to put usefull information for the public and in the end they realized the compensation is too small? Is it worth it? The people who read this posts understand the volume of work necessary to mentain a blog alive? I really hope so.

Keep up the good work. You have my appreciation and I wish you a lot of success.

Loved your post. You have definitely hit the nail on the head about Richard Branson. He is a guy I aspire to meet. I haven’t read ‘Screw It Lets Do It’ yet but I’ll add to my next book to buy on amazon.

“Just do it” is my motto for this year. All I want to do is take action on whatever goals I have for my business and life. That’s the only way I can move forward and see if my ideas are profitable or not.

We also need to “be bold” and not be afraid to be ourselves and share our message in our own unique way. We need to get out there in a big way to get the clients we need.

Thanks for sharing these online business success tips.

Hey Joyce,
Happy to hear that:) I noticed that we admire a lot the same person.
Action makes the connection between dreams and reality and is so important. See it, feel it and do it no matter what

I appreciate your thoughtful comment,
Radu

Hi Radu,

There is defininately something to be said for studying prospering people. I love the tips you share, especially “Have Fun.” I believe you are supposed to enjoy the journey. It is A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y exhilarating to step outside of your comfort zone and create something magnificent where there was nothing! Thank you for sharing these insights.

Hi Radu,

I like these type of articles…so thank you.

My favorite lesson is “TO HAVE FUN!”

I believe in that so much. I used to work in jobs and do tasks that I hate. I don’t think I’ll be happy even if they paid more than what I was worth.

With my own business, I really started to have fun. I did things which I like and outsourced things which I’m not good at such as web design.

When I’m having fun, working in my business is not work. It’s entertainment and it’s addictive.

So having fun is essential. Just imagine getting paid to enjoy yourself!

Thanks for that. I have read ‘Screw It Lets Do It’ myself. It’s a great book and left me overflowing with inspiration for what I can achieve with my future.

Persistence is, for me, one of the most important factors of any successful business. If we can persist and keep going, we can achieve whatever we want to achieve. Another great book that you should read (you may well have read this one already) is Napoleon Hill’s ‘Think and Grow Rich’. That is the best of all self-development books.

Hope you’re having an awesome day

Hey David
Glad to see you here my friend. Agree, Richard Branson has a magnetic style and knows how to engage with people.
I like your thinking. Keep persisting because everything is possible.
Thanks for sharing with me Think and grow Rich. I read it but it’s well worth to do it again.

Wish you all the best,
Radu

HI Radu, mmmmm, I LOVE RB! Sorry didn’t mean to yell it. He is such an inspiration and he has got it right.

I love his carefree attitude. He always encourages people to just do it and have fun in the process. He is definitely one of these people who goes about things with the intention to win and doesn’t make a huge hairy deal about it in the first place.

I have only recently heard of his Screw It book… LOL. I will definitely be adding it to my long list.

Hi Radu,

Thank you for sharing these 5 powerful tips! I keep hearing about RB, I really do need to read a book of his!

The part that really stood out to me was: “Believe everything can be done and you will find a way.” That is so true! That’s why I teach my kids not to say the word “can’t” because once it is replaced with “can” a solution is always found! The same is true for myself as well.

Thanks!

Hey Viviana,
In most of his interviews he talks about “people” and how to serve them well, to feel good about them and with them. No wonder why he is so successful. A great “people” man.
He has a great interview on his private island “Necker”.

All 4 points are a must to be happy making a successful business. The point I love the most is to just have fun all other points will be a easy to handle. Some new business owner and old may get caught up in the mind set of, I have to get successful quick, for the ones who are successful stress themselves about keeping that success. As long as we are having fun and taking the right steps to be successful, nothing else should be an issue.

I’d have to say that the leader that really inspired me was Steve Jobs. I’m not even saying this to jump on the I Love Steve band wagon.

I watched his Stanford commencement address about a year ago and his line about not being trapped by dogma has really stuck with me.

Hey Joe,
It’s impossible not to be positively influenced by Steve Jobs. Being able to stand up for your value shows character and personal power. Even if, in some cases this is not appreciated by others right away, a leader’s aura will last forever.

Thanks for your imput.

Radu,

Richard Branson is one of my all time favorites. I loved his amazing autobiography “Losing My Virginity.” Anybody who hasn’t read that should pick it up.

The big takeaway for me here is, “Have Fun” and “Be Bold.” It is a learned skill to take the approach of having fun when it’s all on the line, but nothing will kill your business faster than appearing to “need” success.

Being bold comes down to being uncomfortable. Nobody ever got rich doing what is comfortable or convenient. When you continually do new and different things you grow personally and this will take you places you’ve only dreamed of going. Great post.

Hey Rob,
Glad to see you here for the first time.
I heard about the book. Perhaps adding it on my reading list is a great thing to do.
Great insight: being bold comes down to being uncomfortable. And you if have fun the uncomfortable things won’t seem like this anymore.
Doing different things is what gives you more energy and creativity. Did you notice that people that are stuck, do the same things over and over without even analyzing it. But, we all start from somewhere. This is the road of evolution.
Thank you for your super comment. The other readers will definitely find more value in it.
Wish you all the best,
Radu

My favorite tip mentioned is Just Do It. Too many people out there dream of doing something great one day but never actually take one step forward. That is sad.

Branson is one of my favorite business leaders. The guy has insane charisma. He is always up and always energetic. A couple weeks ago I saw an interview with him on CNBC where he gave a solution to US unemployment problem. His solution was brilliant. It took him minutes to come up with a solution that our own government is still unable to solve. The guy rocks.

Radu, you have peaked my interest to learn more about Sir Richard Branson and encouraged me once again to do better, be better.

I believe every person needs to…”risk the thunder and press on.” Whether it is personal or professional. So many just ‘hear the thunder’ and walk/run away. Leaders press on.

This is probably one of my favorite posts Radu! Keep up the incredible job!

Great tips, Radu.

I like to ‘have fun’ section. Yes it is important do stay focused and effectively continue to work toward your goal. Professionalism is important. But I do like to have fun with it.
Both online and offline, I am someone who enjoys to have fun with it. Sure I could shoot boring videos up a gains the wall and drill people that they need to make a change in their life if they want to succeed.
Or, I could climb to the top of a mountain and yell at the camera and wave my arms a few times and share with people WHY they should make a change. I just like to have fun with it .

Thanks for sharing from the mind of Branson

Hi Radu,

most people love Sir Richard’s because he is a “enfant terrible”. And so do I. I love especially the requirement of combining hard work with fun. A business needs a happy owner. How awesome and true is that ?

Thanks for sharing Sir Richard’s insights.

Be blessed

Hi Radu,

Hey! Another RB out there I didn’t think about us having the same initials. Maybe a meeting of the RBs in the near future?

I live my life as Richard lays it out. Wonderful advice from a visionary and icon. His quotes resonate like mad with me, because he speaks great truths.

For me, having fun is A1. Enjoy what you do. Be passionate about it, and enjoy making people around you successful, as much as you enjoy becoming successful. This is why I share people’s content like mad. I want us all to prosper and become billionaires…..or spiritual billionaires, if you so choose.

I want to elevate the prosperity consciousness of everybody. Seeing the appearances of abject poverty in places where I’ve traveled to recently, really hits this point home. I have work/fun to do, and I plan to persist like heck in doing it.

Momentary living is one of my primary intents. I take breaks. I watch. I release. I intend to make a positive impress and be present. Sometimes I am not present, which is OK, but other times I am fully here, Now, and as I practice, I improve. Sir Richard is on the money here.

Spot on tips here. Thanks!

Hey Ryan,
Yes another RB here:) I laughed when I created the post because I thought of your name.
Man, you really inspire me. The insane amount of energy you have, the willingness to create new contacts and just give, give and again give. For this reason you will become a billionaire
Spiritual billionaire.. I love how it sounds…Life should be about fulfilling every area: health, money, relationships and spirituality. They are all slices of the same pie
I’m with ya on that: as we grow and give more we can elevate the consciousness of everybody. It all starts inside

Thank you for the wonderful insights. Glad you enjoyed Richard Branson’s tips.

Radu, aloha. Sir Richard Branson is one of my favorites too. In addition to the ones you have above which are so true, here’s another one that applies he does so well. If online marketers learned to do it as well as Sir Richard does, they would be enormous successes too.

Network. Though we hear about the importance of building and maintaining a network, few of us to do to the optimum extent. Richard did and does constantly build and maintain networks. When something happens, good or bad, he can reach out to his network. Aside from what he may want for his company, he networks, and very effectively, to create change and to make a difference in the world.

A consistent theme throughout his books is people; they are everything to him. Taking care of people in his personal life, his professional life as well as those he encounters on life’s road, matters enormously to him.

His relationship building skills set an example for all of us.

A final point of Sir Richard that is important for us to remember is our ethics. He said:

“Ethics aren’t just important in business. They are the whole point of business.”

Sir Richard’s strong ethics and relationship skills are key to his many business successes.

Thanks so much, Radu, for using one of my favorite people to highlight online success tips.

Best wishes for a terrific week. Until next time, aloha. Janet

Hi Janet,
Wow:) Thank you for your insightful comment.
Glad that we resonate at this point.
In my researches I noticed how well he treats people, his energy that easily attracts them, all his humanitarian campaigns in Africa and all around the world. No wonder that Virgin has a word to say in almost every area of social life.

Day after day I realize more and more the importance of networking with people and building relationships.
No matter what type of business we seek to build online they all are based on people.
You definitely are a great networker Janet.
I appreciate you and every valuable tip you bring with your comment or blog posts.
