Branson got lucky in his very early days when he set up Virgin records - a company selling records at very much discounted prices to his student mates from borrowed premises in a cellar. His overheads were so low that he could afford to undercut the High Street significantly and we all know that Students like cheap.

Granted in later life, he has developed into a sound business man, but if he had not had his piece of luck in the late 60s and early 70s he would not be where he is today. Sir Richard suffers from dyslexia and so was unlikely to have ever secured a place in a good business school...
