 Losing My Virginity: How I've Survived, Had Fun, and Made a Fortune Doing Business My Way $16.00 "Losing my Virginity" is Richard Branson's autobiography and takes you on a pleasent ride all the way from his extraordinary childhood to the growing realms of the Virgin empire. It's really interesting to see how he built it all up from scratch and how he chose his paths in both life and business. The book also contains the thrilling stories of his adventures as a balloonist and speed-boat daredevil. Really entertaining reading. Sir Richard Branson is one of those persons I really would like to meet before I die, because he seems to posess such an interesting kind of energy. "Losing my Virginity" only supports that feeling and sure gave me a boost of that Branson-energy. I couldn't put this book down after I started reading it. If you're looking for a book about business, then you should read Branson's "Business Stripped Bare", but if you want a book more about his life then this book is fantastic. Highly recommended!  Bootstrap Bootcamp Fall 2007 $14.95 Bijoy is singularly passionate about Bootstrapping. He's taken a challenging method of starting a business and broken it down into simple ideas that can be acted upon. Many people bootstrap their businesses but few can tell you the steps they followed, how they navigated their way through the maze or how they arrived at the decisions they made. Bijoy has taken a theory and provided a primer that will allow an entrepreneur to map their way through the maze and successfully bootstrap their business.  Dirty Tricks: British Airways' Secret War Against Virgin Atlantic $24.95 This book had me gripped - I finished it in 3 days. If you no little about the corporate world, industrial espionage, and the world of 'security consultants', this is a fantastic eye-opener. I can vouch that at least one of the 'players' as Martyn calls them, was described down to a tee. A very accurate portrayal. |
