Losing My Virginity by Sir Richard Branson (2002, Paperback, Updated)

"Virginity" should be on every entrepreneur's must-read list of books. Today Branson is one of the world's richest men - a feat few of us feel able to achieve. It is heartening to read the story behind the man - someone who was not born into wealth, someone who was a poor student and struggled with dyslexia and someone who started with nothing and built an empire. Through this autobiographic look at Branson's life, you learn that above all the guy has common sense, guts and a drive to win. Many of us have that. What you will find is a roadmap of how he built his businesses. Can you be the next millionaire? Who knows. Reading this book is a good place to start on that journey. As an aside... For those who blush easily, I recommend ordering this book online. in the middle of a busy B&N store, I asked the customer service clerk where I could find "Losing My Virginity." From the look on his face and the chuckle from the guy behind me, I felt the need to explain *quickly* that it was a business book. I am sure I turned three shades of red. :-)
