Book Abstract
The "Virgin Way" of doing business really isn't all that hard to describe although it can be challenging to implement. It generally comes down to just the one maxim: If you don't enjoy it, don't do it. Life's much too short to spend any of it working on what you don't like.
Specifically, the four keys to doing business and leading the Virgin Way are:
ListenLearnLaughLeadDon't spend your life looking in the rear-view mirror or talking aimlessly about how things are going to somehow be magically better in the future. Get busy doing what makes your heart soar. Just get out there and do it.
"Having what we like to call ‘serious fun’ is at the core of ‘the Virgin Way’ and that's something for which I will never apologize. Being passionately engaged and enjoying every minute of what you do is an attitudinal thing – a spark – that cannot be mandated, trained, put in a job description or an employee manual. It's something that's either in a person's DNA or not, and as such has to come from within."
- Richard Branson
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"If you live every day like it's your last, someday you'll almost certainly be right."
- Steve Jobs

Listen
Listen intently to anyone who has an opinion to share. It's amazing how much you can learn that way. If you get into the habit of listening deliberately to your customers, to the marketplace and even to those who have made mistakes in the past, you'll be amazed at how much you can learn. Great leaders are active listeners first and foremost.
"I'd just urge you to do more listening than talking, don't be afraid to wear your passion on your sleeve for all to see, and when in doubt, trust your instincts."
1. There's no way around it – to listen, you have to be silent
"You're short on ears and long on mouth."
- John Wayne line in the movie Big Jake
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
- Sir Winston Churchill
Listening effectively has become something of a dying art in the business world. Everywhere you look, you can see people who listen too little and instead talk far too much. You can generally tell when someone's not listening because they will say: "I hear you!"
