Richard Branson Virgin
Its name may raise some eyebrows, but there can be no doubt as to the tremendous success of the Richard Branson Virgin Group. Run as a cluster of separate and distinct companies that come together under the Virgin brand, this Group was first established by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. With services that range from travel and music to wine, cosmetics, and even bridal wear, Virgin remains one of the most successful privately held corporations in the U.K., and indeed, the world.

Management Courses
It’s a big, scary world out there, especially for the entrepreneur wanna be who has had little to no business experience or training. Entrepreneurs are known for their willingness to take risks, for their innovation, and not necessarily for their academic record. Indeed, many of the most successful CEOs in the world are those who dropped out of university or even high school in order to follow their dreams. But for those of you who aren’t sure you are the next Richard Branson, a high school dropout so determined to be his own boss that he is now a billionaire, there are other options.

Building a successful legacy one purposeful act at a time
In this article, Richard Monette expands on his popular article "The Success Formula". He uses the example of the Banff Centre - one of Canada's most well known and successful professional development hubs - 75th anniversary to present a clear recipe to building a successful legacy.

Richard concludes that defining the fulfillment variable in the Success Formula is not a license to avoid the hard work required to deliver results.

Richard says that 80% of our results come from 20% of our activities. This can be seen to be true in just about any business I have had any involvement with as an Accountant and is something I continually tell people to look out for.
From Go Fast Kids to Calm Kids
Making that transition from holiday mode to classroom. How excited do kids get with the start of school approaching? Getting kids to go from the freedom of school holidays to move to that place of being settled and ready for school can be a challenge for some parents. Many children now days are identified as being ADD and ADHD I call these kids “go fasts” and the transition from holidays to school can be a bit more of a challenge for these kids. Being a “go fast” kid is fine, they are full of excitement and life, but it does not always suite the classroom environment. So how do you handle the transition time as they move into the structures of a new school year and a classroom environment?
