from Richard Branson
As the man who built a global empire from a modest mail-order record service, Sir Richard Branson is not known for walking away from challenging situations. And while his private island retreat in the Caribbean sustained catastrophic damage from the wrath of Hurricane Irma, we have no doubt he'll build it back up even better than before. That's because the 67-year-old billionaire business mogul has always thrived on challenge. As a kid, he struggled with dyslexia only to leave school at 16 to launch a magazine. That lead to a record label, and eventually to a massive company with everything from an airline and a mobile communication network to hotels and spaceships. No stranger to the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life, Branson is someone who thrives on challenge. Who better to take some advice from?

"My attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you're moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again."
"Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don'ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been."
