The first of Richard Branson’s Five Secrets to Business Success is “Enjoy What You Are Doing”.
He says that because you spend a huge amount of time on hard work, it’s best that you enjoy it. When he started Virgin he just wanted to do something he enjoyed, which would also “pay the bills”.
He also says: “For me, building a business is all about doing something to be proud of, bringing talented people together and creating something that’s going to make a real difference to other people’s lives.”
The “Five Secrets” are:
1: Enjoy what you are doing.
2: Create something that stands out.
3: Create something that everybody who works for you is really proud of.
4: Be a good leader.
5: Be visible.
About Christoff Oosthuysen
I was pleased in someone like Christoff take interest in helping me refine my dreams and achieve my goals. Going through the results of the Vitality test was the first step to an exciting journey that opened my eyes to so many things. It’s not that I didn’t know these things about myself, I just did not describe most of these traits as skills or qualities that made me successful at certain things. Christoff has a unique ability to help frame the pictures you see, then put them into words. Outside the tangible business results of seeing certain goals achieved, believing more than I did in myself was a fresh reminder of the potential I have and reinforced my resolve not to give up. Going forward I’ll be using my natural talents to better my business and personal relationships. I am very thankful to have had our paths cross and look forward to a world of learning, being inspired and putting passion into action.
