On Necker Island with Richard Branson 0

by Vishen Lakhiani

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.

And finally, a video of the trip. Lov­ingly crafted from the footage on my Flipcam.

  • About Vishen

    Picture of Vishen Lakhiani

    Intense, a lit­tle bit crazy, and damn good at what he does, Vishen Lakhi­ani is a major influ­ence in the field of per­sonal devel­op­ment. 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.

    Vishen’s quest is to redesign the global edu­ca­tion sys­tem and heighten human con­scious­ness by com­bin­ing mar­ket­ing and tech­nol­ogy to help spread enlight­ened ideas. It’s no won­der that he’s a mar­ket­ing and tech­nol­ogy con­sul­tant to some of the world’s top authors and thinkers in per­sonal and busi­ness transformation.

    As a highly suc­cess­ful online entre­pre­neur, there is some method to his mad­ness, mak­ing him one of the most sought after speak­ers in the world of online busi­ness build­ing. He has been invited to speak at pres­ti­gious events like the Trans­for­ma­tional Lead­er­ship Coun­cil and at Tony Robbin’s Ulti­mate Busi­ness Mas­tery Summit.

    This year Vishen expands his vision into 2 addi­tional com­pa­nies, Project GiftED, a com­pany that seeks to bring new idea on par­ent­ing and early infant edu­ca­tion to the mass mar­ket; and Mind­Val­ley His­panic, which pub­lishes per­sonal devel­op­ment prod­ucts for the Latin Amer­i­can market.
