On Necker Island with Richard Branson 0

by Vishen Lakhiani

June 10, 2009

If you could meet anyone in the world and spend an entire day with them who would you choose?

My top three choices are:

  1. Barack Obama
  2. Richard Branson
  3. it's a tie between Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and Natalie Portman (hey, I'm a guy)

So I was absolutely ecstatic to get a chance to spend 5 days on Richard Branson's Necker Island this May. And this wasn't your regular Necker Island stay. This private island owned by Branson gets visitors like Orlando Bloom, Mariah Carey, Bill Gates and more at a cost of $350,000 a week. (or roughly $50,000 a night). And that's just for a regular hotel-style stay with no guarantee of actually meeting Branson.

I got a chance to spend 5 days there with a group of entrepreneurs. With Branson present from breakfast to post-parties for 3 nights straight. It was an amazing time.

At the tender age of 33, he has already built a multimillion dollar company, created one of the world’s top workspaces and has become a highly requested speaker in the fields of marketing and entrepreneurship.

    It began a few years ago when he decided to quit his high-flying career at Silicon Valley and start his own bedroom business publishing self-growth programs online. But as business grew, so did his vision.
