On 18 July 1950, Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Nason was born in London, the capital of England.  His father was a barrister and mother was an entrepreneur as well as being an air hostess.  Richard's mother wanted Richard to be ready for any challenge in life.  So she used to give different kinds of challenges to Richard since childhood.  When Richard was seven years old, his mother gave him the job of sending him something to his grandfather's house.  Grandpa's house was about 50 miles from his house.  His mother had given him some sandwiches packed and asked him to arrange water for drinking.  He returned home like a champion the next day after handing over the goods to his grandfather's house.  Richard could not read properly due to dyslexia.  He always lagged behind the other children in the class.  This was the reason he was forced to leave his school at the age of 16.  On the last day of school, the headmaster told Richard that you would grow up to be a millionaire.  After failing in a business at the age of 16, he launched a magazine called 'Student' which was his first successful work. His magazine became so famous that within 3 years of starting it, he had earned around 4.5 million. He started moving towards recording, succeeding in the magazine business.  He also adopted a dishonest way to succeed, due to which he also had to go to jail for a few days.  But within a few years he got a big failure in it.  After this he decided that he would never cheat again in life.  Now they started trying to take their recording business forward with complete honesty.  Many bands that were not signed by any company, he started giving them a chance in their recording company (Virgin Recording). The albums of these bands became very popular in England and in 1979, at the age of only 29, Sir Richard Branson had earned crores of rupees.  How Sir Richard's thinking differs from that of a common man is evident in this incident that took place in his life.  One day Richard was to go on a date on Porto Rico Island.  When he learned that all the flights for that day had been canceled, he thought of hiring a private plane instead of returning home from there.  At that time they had little money, first they found out the fare of the private plane and then they sold all the tickets to Porto Rico Island and filled all the seats on the plane and reached Puerto Rico Island.  It was from there that Virgin Airlines started.
He had to sell his favorite recording business in 1992 to continue the business of the same airlines.  Richard had tears in his eyes while signing the contract paper.  But emotions have no place in business.  One has to do whatever is necessary.  Within four years, Richard had started a new company called V2 Records.  Gradually, he started many businesses like telecommunications, travel and tourism.  He started a business and then made it successful and started another business.  Thus, at the age of 69, today he has become the owner of 400 companies.  The most prominent among them is his space tourism company Virgin Galactic.  This company is working to move people into space.  There are also two private islands named after Richard.  One of which they live in themselves.  He likes to be close to nature.  He has received the title 'Knight' by Queen Elizabeth 2 of England for his contribution to entrepreneurship, which has led him to become 'Sir Richard Banson'.
