You might be familiar with some of the greatest names in business, Richard Branson, Lord Alan Sugar and Bill Gates for a start. All these household names have a great head for running companies and making money, but more importantly, they’re all successful and had to start somewhere. Let’s take a look at their journey’s in the business sector.
Richard Branson
Many people refer to Branson as one of the greats in the world of business with his Virgin enterprise consisting of an airline, record label, internet provider and his latest venture Virgin Galactic, travel into space. Yet Branson, who has dyslexia, began his journey running a youth-culture magazine called Student.
His business brain managed to sell the first edition with £8,000 worth of advertising and ran 50,000 copies, all of which were given away for free. Branson realised he could recuperate his costs and gain a larger audience through charging advertising agencies with big budgets instead of customers with shallow pockets. The rest is, as they say, history.
