So my challenge is to learn the airline business within 4 months and take the lessons learnt from those around me on board to make it a success. A big part of being a success is of course being sure to have the right people around me. So your challenge is to make 10 people a millionaire this year? Well I will put my hand up!! Saying a millionaire? Why not help start up an Airline service that becomes a success within 2009? The opportunity exists within the industry to tap into strong Marketplace for a NICHE service provider. If you want to discuss more then drop me a line .... Take care HI Paul

I also highly recommend his newest book "Business Stripped Bare". It really is amazing what he has accomplished and how he has gone about it. Lots of great business tips in both of those books! He is a nice guy as well. I took a look at your blog and you did a great job of highlighting some of the great stuff! Elliot, Yep, I have read that book.

I'm in the Middle of reading Losing my Virginity--Branson's autobiography. Have you read it? He tells a great story for how he decided to start the airline company. It's hilarious. 1. He got a proposal to invest in a start up airline. 2. He got excited about it. 3. He thought out the risks (on his own with no market research.) He decided he would do it, if he could lease a jumbo jet from Boeing for 1 year and have an "out." 4. He called a competitor. He couldn't get them on the line, and decided they must not be very good. 5. He called Boeing and discovered he could lease a plane for one year. 6. He decided to start the airline. His partners at Virgin were irate when he told them. 7. He called up the former founder of a failed British airline to learn the business on his house boat and decide what the business model for his airline would be. (All of this happened in under 1 month) I posted a couple of highlights from the first half of the book on my blog: http://elliottgarlock.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/confession-ive-got-a-richard-branson-man-crush/ Paul,
