Sir Richard Branson might not be everyone’s cup of tea but
there is one thing that you cannot doubt, his incredible passion for both
business and life. Unique Client Solutions studies the success of an icon.
If there is one thing that we’re proud of at customer acquisitions company, Unique Client
Solutions, it’s our ability to motivate ourselves. If you’re looking for
role-models then we don't think there's much better than Sir
Richard Branson. By way of a short biography Richard Branson was born in 1950
and set up Student magazine when he was 16. In 1970 at 20 years old he founded
Virgin as a mail order record retailer but quickly opened a shop in Oxford
Street. It began as a record company in 1972 and they ended up signing the Sex
Pistols, Culture Club and the Rolling Stones to make it one of the biggest
record companies in the world. Virgin Group now has over 200 companies in over
30 countries which work in the leisure, travel, tourism, TV and finance
industries amongst others.
Unique Client Solutions believes that as a business leader
Branson epitomises the true meaning of an entrepreneur. A spokesperson for the
company said, “Branson never tires of trying something new and pushing the
boundaries. The money he makes is immaterial now. With a $4.2 billion
worth there is no need to work anymore, he does it because he loves it. Passion
is key to success in our eyes.”
Branson has also set up Virgin Unite which is a non-profit
entrepreneurial foundation which looks for entrepreneurial approaches to social
and environmental issues. Quite aside from his business ventures Branson also
is a keen explorer and has made many world record attempts. He held a fastest
Atlantic Ocean crossing record, the fastest crossing from Japan to Arctic
Canada in a balloon. He crossed the English Channel in the fastest ever time in
an amphibious vehicle. Last year he broke a record for the oldest person to
kite-surf across the English Channel.
So why does Unique Client Solutions think Sir Richard
Branson is so successful? “Quite aside from pushing business boundaries Branson
is always on the look out to push physical, mental and environmental barriers.
He has actually failed in many of his attempts first, second and even third
time around. The fact that he tries again and again until he succeeds is the
very reason he is so successful in life, that steely determination is something
that we really value at Unique Client Solutions. He is a real inspiration who
we’re quite sure won’t stop until he’s forced to.”
