Don't be afraid to fail. Branson was no stranger to failure, and he often used it as a learning experience. He knew that failure was a part of the journey, and he was willing to take risks and learn from his mistakes.
Surround yourself with the right people. Branson was successful because he surrounded himself with people who shared his vision and could help him achieve his goals. He was also willing to take advice from those who had more experience than him.
Be vulnerable. Branson openly talks about having dyslexia, ADHD and poor academic performance, and how his teacher told him he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire
