Identify and learn from mistakes
 

Great Article.

Except this part.

"One of the reasons Virgin?s enterprises have been successful over the years is that we empower the staff to make mistakes? and then learn from them."

I hope he's not referring to his pilots. :Oh crap

The rest of the article is great. Motivational.

fucking nice. short & sweet eh.

thx.

Thanks man,
That guys come a long way.

Nice write up, motivational indeed.

Weird.....

I'm half in the pool reading GFY on the laptop...I read this thread then started swimming a backstroke. As I'm doing this, I look up into the sky and their was a Virgin plane flying over me.

Now my keyboard is wet from typing this.

Back to my swim......

Well, if you were on your iphone, you could have been using the waterproof app, I'm sure there's one out there. :1orglaugh

LOL. :thumbsup

I've always liked the story behind his island.

He bought the island after his record company had its first hit. He then added something to the island with each subsequent hit. It is now valued at $130-150MM.

thanks for that, now I'm motivated!!:pimp

MTV Cribs yo.

I knew someone would pick that up.

I'd *LOVE* to use that outside bathroom of his. I'm so in love with that island.

EDIT: I think I got the price from a show the former Kimora Lee Simmons hosted ... but if I recall, they used clips from Cribs to show the island.

He has an amazing story.
When you start taking over my empire, I'm going to take over that Island. :1orglaugh

Good, you haven't forgotten!

I've told Dave many times that I am going to replace him when he decides to retire. At this rate I expect to be at the helm by 2045-2050.

I'm one of those people that believe if you say it enough times your sub-conscience makes it come true. +1 mention.

Did you learn that from Zig?

And it's working.
It may be sooner than you think.

No, Oprah!

She stole it from him then. :winkwink:

$53k a night for the whole island! I know adult was great in the 90's and early '00 but was it THAT great?!

If you have 40 years left on you, that would be $773 million.

If you have that sitting around now then you have the wherewithal to just bring me on right now! :1orglaugh

Isn't that whole mentality a big part of "The Secret?"

I rather hire my friend that is a Pilot, bury the plane and him on the island somewhere, and live in the trees. I'll be ahead of myself.

Wait, I think that's how the show "Lost" got started.

Wait, come to think of it, that island is his office! I'll still be squeezed out!

I believe it is.

good read :thumbsup
