His lifestyle and career have always been interested in a special way by the media and those who are on the way starting up.

At the workshop, he introduced the story of his difficult start-up way. Richard’s career came from the discomfort. At that time, he was very upset because there is no way to go to a small island that he likes, and then he determined to open an airline company to help him do that. Richard is the one who owns many companies in the world but very close to people. He transmitted the inspiration to people to be ready to confront with the challenges and be optimistic about life, nature and people. Richard Branson is seen as the 1^st world billionaire go to Vietnam for the first time to give a speech. Previously, some billionaires like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg… also came to Vietnam but as business trip or personal travel.

Mr. Branson owns the property portfolio worth 5 billion USD, ranking 330 in the list of billionaires in the world and the 12^th richest person in UK. He cared for the Virgin brand and make money primarily from charging dozens of companies to own this brand name, not by investment returns. Therefore, he is considered as the symbol of entrepreneurship around the world, including Vietnam.

Finding the right business partner in Vietnam is also important. We recommend doing research on the reputation of the company and individual shareholders, corporate or individual, gathering publicly available company information, and performing background checks on key personnel to find potential risks in cooperation. Working with a reliable partner can help achieve economic benefits, saving time and money in business.
