The Business Virgin: Branson Enters The Game
| |
| With his magazine failing him, Branson turned to the idea of setting up a record mail order business in 1970.

He dropped out of high school and began focusing on his new business, which was now making a profit. This modest success allowed him to rent an empty shop on Oxford Street in London in order to set up a music store. His magazine staff was transferred to the discount record store and the operation began to take off. At a loss for a name, one of the girls suggested ‘Virgin’ since they were “complete virgins at business”. With that, the Virgin Empire was born. |

Kids represent huge opportunities for franchise companies. There are 4 million babies being born every year in the U.S. and most families are dual-income households. That combination has created $60 billion in annual revenues for the childcare industry. As the number of children increases, so does the competition to get into the best schools. Parents are feeling the pressure to help their kids get a competitive edge and a growing number are willing to pay for supplemental education services.

BUSINESS / SOCIAL INTERACTIONS (LISTENING
| |
| Hearing is a passive and subconscious use of our senses. Hearing simply means that your ears are picking noises. The Oxford dictionary describes hearing as ‘the faculty of perceiving sounds, There is no doubt that some sounds or noises will instinctively turn your hearing in to listening- a gun shot at night or a shuffling noise in the trees etc. To listen, one makes an effort to hear something, i.e. important news on the radio for instance. To listen is much more than hearing, it involves hearing a person attentively.
