Step 20: Richard Branson’s Hurricane & The Imaginary World Of Kanye West

The Big Idea: If you were independently wealthy, what kind of life would you create? Work backward from there to engineer your ideal life.

  • An entrepreneur creates the world in his own image.
  • Richard Branson created Virgin Airlines because a hurricane stranded him on an island.
  • There are three types of people: people who watch things happen, people who make things happen, and people who wonder what happened.
  • Book recommendation: Screw It, Let’s Do It by Richard Branson
  • If you were independently wealthy, what would you do?
  • What do you love? If you love reading? Create a book club.
  • Even if you are not an entrepreneur, think like an entrepreneur and act like an entrepreneur.
  • Imagine your ideal world in these four areas: health, wealth, love, and happiness
  • You can have anything you want but not *everything*.  So be clear about what you want and work diligently towards it.
