Virgin Life - a day on Necker Island 

"Freedom" as shown here is the true meaning of success.

Bloody hell. He went from a grotty high street second hand record store to Planes, Trains, Media, Money, Phones, Wine. .A Multi-Billionaire. He must sometimes lay awake at night thinking, I made it. I really made it.

My notes from this video: keep fit, have fun, don't restrict your work to an office, be open and allow inspiration to come wherever you are. :) Great inspiration!

I am so sick of sitting behind my desk every day I feel like I'm dying I really need to figure out a way to be as happy as you are because I know I work my ass off every day. Thank you for reminding me to look up at the stars

I now live in the Caribbean, this is the LIFE. I made it. That office life in NYC was not for me. Richard Branson is showing the way, don't live a dull life. live it to the fullest!

It's amazing he bought this island for 180.000£

This is the life I everyday imagine about .

One thing about Sir Branson is that, he and his family may live isolated from the rest of society but he does get alot of company!

I dont kno if u will ever read this Sir Richard. But ur question is how do u keep work satifing. Well me personally I love seeing people having fun n being happy. I've had many different jobs in my time. MOST in the fast food or customer service part of employment. Sure it low pay n hard work but I loved it.. my mother owned her own Security Guard business at one time I helped her run it . It was fine. I enjoyed the interacting with guest n making sure they were happy n safe more than the office part.. I loved when I did front desk at hotels very much. Loved making sure when guest left they had a great experience and wanted to come back. At 44 i was a up coming manager at McDonald's n i loved my job. Always had a positive attitude n tried to make sure my customers were happy n that my teammates had good days as well. There was an accident at work one day n it went down hill from there. I was able to work for almost yr and half after the accident. I miss working so much I hope n pray that after all the work comp doctors and treatments I can return to work or mayb some kind of what use to b normal life for me. I love ur Island its beautiful. N love that u care for ur employees and that u do alot for them. Ur a good person .. Thank God for people like u..

So glad you reached out to help those people! You are doing good things with your time and money! God bless you.

Branson defiles every aspect of “ conventional way of doing business “ that it is mind-bugling ...His life-style , his ideas , his way of life and way of doing business should be a mandatory course at every major business school around the world ...

What i love is when he said it's a great place to THINK, and conceive IDEAS. That's my American Dream, my own island - a sanctuary from all the distractions, noise pollution to be able to think with clarity.

Absolute legend of a man, congratulations to him and everything he has achieved. Good luck to you pal and enjoy everything you deserve.

What a great example of running companies: working in a balanced way and showing the world it is possible. We need more of these personalities.!

I’m here after reading Richard’s poetic description of the first time he set foot on the island with Joan in his book “Screw it, Let’s do it.”

Great. Just wish he would pay uk taxes rather than suing the NHS.

Really glad the B Team was setup, haven’t yet checked it out. One of my first inspirations I picked up from Richard on my first trip to his record shop in Birmingham. It was clear to me immediately that the energy coming from the really helpful staff, was down to how they were treated by their Employer. In my first Management Job I took this philosophy with me and turned a Business around, it has given me great pleasure to this day watching and hearing happy people at work, where it became fun, compared to when I first entered the business. The staff were arriving miserable and leaving in the same state, creating problems and low productivity due to low moral.

" I do love the feel of wind blowing through my hair" . But unfortunately my house and the other buildings on Necker didn't.😭

I watched this video and went out to get "Like A Virgin: Secrets They Won't Teach You at Business School". Two words - THANK YOU

Beautiful island but who keeps the island up and running for you.

This guy is such an inspiration, i' m almost creating my own company

My inspiration. Hard work and commitment has paid off for this man. But attitude goes a long way to. And i think thats what has made him the success he is.

This dude lives the life! Awesome

*Thank you for showing us an insight into your world, Richard. You're very inspiring and awesome beyond words. I can't wait to meet you some day! Cheers from Canada*

Stress free job is the best job in the world ..great achievement by Richard sir ... 👍👍👍👍👍All the best from india 🇮🇳

Im a big fan simply for the positive life you live and the inspiration you give us all what a great human you are 😘

Awesome video Richard. I worked at Virgin Australia and shoke your hand long time ago when you came to visit about 10 years ago.

I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU MR. BRANSON. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE AND FAR BEYOND ANYTHING THAT I HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I FEEL LIKE CRYING WITH COMPLETE GRATITUDE AND HAPPINESS.

An atlernative title for this video is "Freedom".Truly Inspiring ❤

Just finished reading his autobiography, with the 2 added chapters. Enjoyed it thoroughly

So this where the kids go?

Hi Richard Branson im your new subs here... Amazing life you have..You're living in everyones dream ..but my wish is just simple I just want to work in your company virgin voyages cruise ship. Hope you can read my comments Sir.. I admire you😊

This guy sued the NHS so I hope the British government does not give him tax payers money as this would be very unpopular with the British public.

Fair play to you Richard a self made man. works hard plays hard and relaxes nicely. One place I hope to visit one day or moskito. Best wishes.

Beautiful island you bought it..its once in a lifetime.

Hey Sir Richard. I purchased 5000 shares of VGAC when the spac hasn't even announced its target company. What gives me such confidence? Sir RB is behind it. With the profits I anticipate, I may purchase Greer Island off the coast of Maine.

It was a once in a lifetime experience.

I am fascinated with his kindness. 😊

Greetings to your buddy Epstein! BTW You stick to "Tennis", or also happen play a round of "Ping Pong" eventually?

So many questions about mr Branson's island,first how high about sea level is it ? Is he ever worried about sea level rises? Hows his wifi speed must be a good 300mbs lol, does he grow his own food or fly in supplys and how does he generate his power needs and fresh water needs,because with all the smart home things out has he upgraded the island or is a more minimalist life away from the technological toys?

I like Richard Branson. I would rally like to spend some time with him. He just seems like a very nice person.

Hi, Sir Richard. When in Virgin in my country (Ecuador) ?

An amazing guy again !!!! This is the person I love to meet

Wow, what a life...........From humble beginnings, to his own world but so complacent with it,. Many CEO's and MD's will learn so much from this man...........Richard has the balance so right, good on you fella.

Awesome inspiration ..when you think about life to go for a next level.

Going to be there next week! So excited to see it in person!

Mr Branson you and your life is a great inspiration for me. Thx 4 sharing.

You are an amazing man! How many lifetimes did you fit in this one life?

I read your your book with all of your hard work

Hi Richard Branson, I’m a kid so don’t blame me if my writing is bad, we went to the Manor house, wow was that place amazing, ( especially Peter .)

wow amazing necker island really inspire me to be like you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

You guys I love you!! and here is an almost fresh year crypto gift, my specialist alexis susan welsh. go grow yours. love you all

Thank you for video and positive spirit.Thank you for kindess of your heart generating and vibrating healing the world! So beautiful place, especially night sky. Have never seen so many stars in the sky at night.

I'm glad you are raising the main house again; congratulations!

Saw you on the Trevor McDonald Islands DVD loved it nice to see your progress. Big inspiration for me so thank you. BBUK OF THE PRINCES TRUST-Ben Judge

I bet the house looks smashing now

Things like virgin galactic.... And he just flew in virgin galactic to space! Definitely a very good place to conceive ideas....

He is the the only rich man that has rich humanity feelings in heart. I like this guy, and I wish him the best.

How do you keep your work life satisfying? I have a kerokeroppi sticker placed in my cubicle :D edit: unfortunately, HR ordered me to take it down :(

My work is satisfying because it's about people. As I work as a life coach and holistic therapist, there's always new things and insights to discover about humanity and the light in people's eyes when we find solutions for their issues together is the best gift of my work. But I also like to play a lot, spend time in nature and meditate, travel and meet extraordinary people and find solutions for world's issues, expand my perceived limits by doing things "out if the box". Life is fun! ...

I like Sir Branson, I hope he can help making the world a greener place by his advocacy

very nice view of the island and very nice video thank you for enjoying your video with it

I have to wonder, if entirely owned, do you follow any kind of building codes or have rules for people to follow?

Wow I like work hard play harder. Implimented

I think he is truly a gentleman who touch nature people mindset and made a profound impact...

Thank you for always searing your advice with us I keep things simple and trying to think out of the box you are my mentor

That place is beautiful!

Awesome i wonder if i can buy or make island in an ocean that no country will claim ..and make it my own country is this possible

I have two idols in my life, Sir Richard Branson and Meryl Streep. I love both their approach to life.... thank you for sharing :)

Richard Branson you and your team are great. I just bought your new book today and I love it, have fun and thank you for the work/live advice you gave me in your book. Keep changing lives - Ben

Is this located near epstien Island

Seems like a nice place, which Richard Branson is proud of having (and sharing). I'd agree that Virgin galactic is pretty awesome & inspiring.

I love his concept ,and he make it sound so easy to work and have fun,well better said being an adventure business man. It's quite a hard life the way he do it,but I would say it's a blessing to have that opportunity. Feeling the freedom and to make money is truly a dream with a focused mind on the goal to succeed with a smile🤝MY respect Sir!

To have fun at work and to keep balance in between personal and professional life is crucial - I fully agree. ☝🏻

How do I get an invitation to meet Richard on Necker Island?

Amazing lifestyle. Nice Video. I am from Cambodia. wait to see new videos.

I wonder if I asked nicely whether RB would let me go and chill on Necker?

Awesome. Great. All the best 👍.

Now that’s the place to go and never worry about the madness of the world.

Mr. Branson! Im Danilo! I was at Sail Caribbean and my friends got to meet you!!

One tip Sir, it might be better to shower before breakfast than have breakfast first. Sort of the rule to wait 30 minutes before you go swimming after eating. I cringe at my suggestion but I do care! Nice spread btw! Say hello to 'Lady' Branson!

How does he get power on the island does he have his own mini power plant

How do you take building materials and maintain a stable food supply to an Island. This should be damn expensive.

Sir Richard, I'm just an ordinary guy but with a lots of ambitions in life that I want to achieve. Thank you for this video, it inspires me so much even in the small things I have.

See you next year! Moving to the U.S. Virgin Islands to run the Company and Kite Surf!

I wish you the best Richard !

Super fedt liv, godt gået, ønsker dig og din familie det bedste liv.

This is the kind of lifestyle i love having 🥰😇🦋doing business from my private island having fun and freedom🦋⭐️

Are the local indigenous people allowed on THEIR island and territory? I'm sure such things do not trouble Saint peter gabriel when he suns himself up there.

I happened to fly with Virgin America for the first time on my way from Port Land to San Francisco in 2016. It was the shortest trip compared with the other trips with other airlines on my vacation in the US. But I can say that Virgin America is the best airline there, in my personal experience. I also mentioned this the other day on my channel. I’d dreamt of flying with Virgin for a long time actually. Unfortunately, there’s no Virgin flight from Bangkok. Luckily, I eventually got the chance that time. Hopefully, you would consider opening a Virgin sky in Thailand one day, after Covid, of course.

Morning sir Richard Branson Hope this email finds you and your family well in a uncertain times , I just wanted to ask a question and advice on my mums trip to the USA soon she has booked a flight to travel to Las Vegas with our self , my mum got the flight for self as treat for her self and her partner , as she has had a bad couple of years , I lost my father 4 years ago to cancer and a heart attack , my mum lives out in malta and during this period she has lost her sister to cancer and poss covic but it was more like the cancer , she was going to travel to see her sister in the states , she lost her brother at the same time we lost my dad , who us to fly with your self to the us then down to mustique we’re he was a on site electrician , my mother got the flight cheap under 2k for 1st class but the problem is she can not fly in to us from a eu county ie malta is part of the archipelago , I said would it be a good idea to speak to virgin and try to ask if you could keep your 1st class and use it a different time as the flight she’s booked on is treading a 15k now let virgin sell the seat and you fly when us takes people again from malta , she has spoke to ever one and email ever on e and no one is getting back or know ms the ans to her questions she is down as she has not seen me for over 2 years if you could look in this problem I would appreciate any help , ps I have used virgin to fly to Montana with my police office girlfriend what a great flight lol Thanks Jean-Paul mcentaggart Sent from my iPhone
