#18: Everyone Starts Somewhere
It can be quite inspiring to hear about the origin stories of successful business people. Richard Branson is known for his Virgin Group, which owns and controls more than 400 companies and brands. However, Branson had to fail a few times before he found his immense success. The business magnate allegedly started hundreds of businesses during his illustrious career.
His business ventures were not without failure. He started at least fifteen businesses that failed miserably. He just kept getting back up and trying again. Branson’s first business venture was when he was just sixteen. He started a magazine called Student, which obviously didn’t last. Let Branson’s career journey be a reminder that in every failure, there is a valuable lesson.
