Lessons in Parenting and Raising Entrepreneurs From ‘Losing My Virginity’
Rebellion was where it all started. Branson’s first entrepreneurial venture was his national magazine ‘Student’ that he developed as just 16 years old. The idea behind ‘Student’ was in a way rebellion – the magazine was to write about whatever wrongs are being done to the school students. As Branson’s parents encouraged opinions and arguments, Branson’s rebellions streak wasn’t like other teenagers who often speak up and do things only when no one is watching. Branson openly wrote letters to his headmaster on multiple occasions criticizing rules and practices that he considered redundant.
Rebellion doesn’t only mean wrong, it also means frustration, dissatisfaction and grievance. And you will be surprised to know that frustration, dissatisfaction and grievance are the best business idea generators. Take a thing that you think is wrong, contemplate on ways to do it right and you have a business idea right there.
