Eye to Eye: Richard Branson

Richard Branson is the CEO of the Virgin Group. He’s almost a synonym for an entrepreneur. In this video he talks about his journey from “dyslexic high school dropout to one of the world’s richest men.” (CBSNews.com)

Aged 15, he decided to start a magazine run by young people for young people. It campaigned on issues he felt strongly about. After that he started his own record company with Mike Oldfield. Now he has 360 companies around the world. But each of these companies is relatively small in his sector. Virgin is a way of life brand.

Branson loves creating things. In order to pay the bills, he has to be an entrepreneur.
