Losing My Virginity

This book by Richard Branson, although a number one bestseller is more towards the genre of an autobiography than a purely entrepreneurial book.

No doubt the journey of this man is inspiring - He started working when in school, he was extremely bold to make the decision to enter the airline business in a monopoly market, his adventure and near death experiences, how he dealth with the personal attacks, his extremely playful marketing strategies etc.

But this book focuses much more on the adventures, the controversy and the aftermath of him setting up the Virgin empire. I was looking to read and understand more about his entrepreneurial journey in detail focusing on the expansion side but unfortunately those become missing especially in the later half. The first few chapters are no doubt interesting with extremely useful business lessons. My biggest lesson from this man was - how to have immense amount of courage, his boldness in any business decision is noteworthy - he wanted to take a challenge because it sounded like fun, no jokes.

I would recommend read his other books before purchasing this one though.
