Life doesn’t have to be a game where some lose so that others can win. Everybody stands to gain if we work together.
Another brilliant article by Richard....
We may be known as a race, but we really should be a team. Instead of regarding each other as rivals, we should embrace each other as allies.
After all, we’re all in this together.
Virgin Life - a day on Necker Island
Richard Says:
"People often ask how I spend my time on Necker Island - here's a film that gives you a glimpse into a day on Necker. From playing tennis to working from home, seeing the lemurs to kite-surfing , join us for a taste of island life.
I've never had a desk in an office since I was a teenager. I prefer to work in a hammock, on a sofa or even in a bath. Now that's flexible working!
It's critical to get the balance between work and play right. Find time for yourself; work hard but also play hard. I think people work more effectively when they are given the freedom to make their own decisions -- that is definitely something we practice on Necker.
I've embraced the social media revolution, and do a lot of posting from Necker Island (including this video!) You can be instantly connected to fascinating people everywhere -- even if you're in a remote corner of the world.
From The Elders to The Carbon War Room, Virgin Galactic to The B Team, Necker is a great place to think and a great place to conceive ideas. Take a look at where we get our inspiration. Where do you find yours?"

To-do lists are only useful if you DO them
There has been lots of debate recently about the usefulness of to-do lists, so I put it on my to-do list to jot down my own thoughts of the matter.
I can confidently state that our culture of notes and thoughtful to-do lists has made Virgin what it is today.
