Biz Book Review: Losing My Virginity

You guys are perverted!

Losing My Virginity
 is an autobiography of the world's coolest playboy businessman - Richard Branson. Get it now?

If not, get the hell outta here. Richard Branson is the founder of Virgin - you know, Virgin Records, Virgin Airlines, VIRGIN F*CKING GALACTIC. Yes, all real men want to go to space simply to say they did it. Don't you dare try and say you don't. I wanted to go to space camp as a kid to brag to all my friends. In case you were wondering, since you wanted to go to space camp too, it was as fucking cool as it looks, and you should be jealous.

Every man with hopes and dreams should read this book. Branson expertly delivers a fast paced read that gets you excited to start your own business and fly around the world in one of those aluminum foil lookin' hot air balloons.

So, I consider myself a pretty savvy guy. Shit, I have a great job, go to law school, write my own blog, and still manage to go out to fancy restaurants and drink bottles of Veuve Clicquot on the weekends! This gives me nothing on the king of Virgin.

Granted, a lot of his exploits are made possible by his bangin bankroll, but the other half is just a pair of fucking stones.

Losing my Virginity goes into detail about Branson's wheeling and dealing that turned his magazine into record stores, a label, an airline, and a brand known round the world. As a young man, Branson snagged ads from competing soda companies (Pepsi Co & Coca-Cola) by telling them the other had already reserved a space in his magazine. F*cking brilliant! This is just the beginning.

Signing controversial rock acts such as The Sex Pistols helped propel Virgin into the spotlight. From there, Branson used his outgoing personality and daredevil mentality to launch the business into the mainstream. From public adventures like sailing and flying around the world - pause. You have to be the fucking man to sail or fly around the world and a) make it and b) not die. Most people puss out halfway through.
Like I was saying, these adventures helped with the cool, edgy image that is Virgin and Branson played it perfectly.

I cannot do this book justice by just rambling on about how fucking cool Richard Branson is. He is a Sir for Christ's sake! However, I can say that any man who wants to learn a hell of a lot about the non-fiscal side of taking the business world by the balls and having a fucking blast doing it needs to read this book. It will blow your damn mind.

So fellas - get off your ass, go to a Barnes and Noble and buy this damn book. Instead of watching the human pizza roll Snooki on Jersey Shore, read a book about a real man - sauve, adventurous, rich, and the image of fucking cool. Your girlfriends will appreciate it when you buy them an island.

Here's an Amazon link to buy the book or read the reviews - but if you don't believe me, you're a moron. Branson wouldn't be too happy either - just look at that shit eating "I am going into space and am way cooler than you" smile.
