“….I see the same fighting spirit in Richard Branson and you too can learn to unlock it. This book is designed to show you how to do just that. It’ll take some gutsy decisions on your part, but I guarantee you that it will open your eyes to a new way of doing business.”

- Lee Iacocca, author of “Where Have All the Leaders Gone?”

The question is: Why has Sir Richard Branson been so successful in business? What are his secrets to success? And, why hasn’t everyone followed in his footsteps?

Imagine living every day with excitement, passion and belief that anything is possible for you, your business and your team.

We say that it is possible for every entrepreneur to tap into their greatest, their inner Branson, realize their full potential and have their business become an outrageous success. And, it’s far easier than you would ever believe.

A Whole New Way of Doing Business

The only thing that prevents you from being successful is you. Your success has nothing to do with money, time, logic, or external circumstances. It has everything to do with you and your level of self-worth and belief.

In today’s economy, business owners have a remarkable opportunity to attract new customers rather than hunt for them. The philosophy behind the book is that creating a personal brand is the key to success. There must be alignment and congruency between the personal values of the business owner and the core values of the business.

One of the greatest mistakes we see business owners make is in taking a short term, “get rich - get out quick” view of their business, instead of focusing on a long term outlook. Entrepreneurs need to operate like this is their life-long mission.

The Spirit of Richard Branson

We hope that through reading The Invisible Branson, potential and current business owners will be awakened to new and previously unimagined possibilities. It will spur them to re- examine their life and company, and to consider the pursuit of greatness.”

Inside everyone is the spirit of Richard Branson just waiting to be released upon on the world. Our aim in writing this book is to expose the talent and greatness that lies in all of us and to guide people to reach their true potential.

Greatness, both personal and business, is ultimately what we are teaching in The Invisible Branson and any business owner; regardless of how well their company is doing, can grow and thrive.

If you are truly committed to breaking out of your current constraints, ready to take your business to the next level, and discover your own true greatness, then The Invisible Branson is your launching pad.

“Successfully working with a spouse is both a tricky and complicated process. The Invisible Partnership provides wise, constructive teachings that will help to strengthen your relationship and lead you onto the road to accomplishment.”

Is it really possible for life partners to successfully live, love, and work together? This is the question we asked ourselves at one point when our business was doing well, but our marriage was falling apart. Does this sound familiar?

The Invisible Partnership is our story, told honestly with no holds barred. And while these experiences are ours, we know they are not ours alone. When The Invisible Partnership came out, we were astounded to hear from so many readers that our book resonated with them. They told us that this book changed their business and their lives. We hope that it can change yours.

In this book, we look at the conflicts that arise within the business partnership. Why do partners clash? And how can they harness their individual talents to become an unstoppable force?

For instance, in many business partnerships, the woman props up her husband or partner, while remaining in the background. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can work together as powerful leaders without compromising each other or holding each other back.

Here are just a few of the lessons and insights the book explores:

• By combining, instead of separating work and home, you can energize both “worlds” in ways you never imagined.
• Disagreements at work need never spill over into the home; rather, they can be the building blocks of a new level of communication.
• Normal management theories don’t work in businesses run by life partners. We look at the reasons for this. By understanding unique operating principles, you can avoid the pitfalls.

It’s not easy to talk about the painful process we went through. Our struggle to work together nearly destroyed our marriage. We both come from broken homes, and this is William’s second marriage. Now, our marriage and friendship are beyond our wildest dreams. We decided to tell all because we believe our story can make a profound difference in the lives of other small business owners. We believe it can help you.

The Invisible Partnership is an invaluable resource for anyone in business, or who is thinking of going into business with someone else. So whether you are romantically involved, family members, best friends or simply joined through business—this book is for you and your business partner.

We will help you structure your company so you can work together and value each other’s strengths. We will help you see that it is possible to work collaboratively and respectfully, without stepping on each other’s toes and without driving each other crazy.

The Invisible Partnership is a journey of transformation. Each chapter will lead you on a journey of self-discovery. Learn that you don’t have to sacrifice your relationship for your work. Learn that you don’t have to sacrifice yourself. You can follow both your head in business and your heart in love.

“Full of powerful, practical advice that any business owner can immediately use to increase their profits and reduce their work hours. I wish I had this book twenty years ago, it would have made building my business a lot easier.”

- Siimon Renolds, co founder, Photon Group

When was the last time you took three months off? If you are the owner of a small business, taking an extended holiday may seem like an audacious and impossible goal. But the problem is not your business. It’s you.

That’s why The Invisible Entrepreneur is an absolute must read for anyone intent on succeeding without letting their business dominate their life. We will teach you how taking three months off can actually make your business stronger.

Have you ever wondered how Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin companies, can head up 300 or so businesses and still take time to enjoy all that he has reaped? We wondered, because at one point in our life we struggled just to keep one small business running profitably. We were simply slaves to our business.

Richard Branson is the ultimate “invisible entrepreneur.” He has been able to separate himself from his businesses so that they can run without depending on him. So the question is: Does Richard Branson ever run a business? If he doesn’t, then how does he manage to be so successful?

The Invisible Entrepreneur pinpoints one of the biggest mistakes that business owners make. They deliberately build a business that traps them, and then they fight to maintain their limitations. You are probably living in a cage that you have built. But once you realize it, you will never run your business the same way again.

In this book you will learn:

• Why the conventional wisdom of simply setting up systems and processes, however good they are, will not free the owner from constant hands-on involvement.
• How you can take off three months or more by learning to manage risks.
• Why it’s essential to have the right people in place and how you can recruit and build a team you can rely on.

We will challenge you to take a hard look at the way you keep yourself trapped. We’ll encourage you to look to your future—to see that you could actually fail if you don’t start making changes.

All of the information in the book is highly focused, extremely practical, and above all, readily applicable. We help you make the important changes that your business needs in order for you to take three months off or more.

Your business should be a money-making machine, not a prison. The Invisible Entrepreneur will help you create the freedom to bring out your inner Branson. Learn to let your business work for you, instead of you working for your business. Yes, you can have fun while making money.
