Dan Martell - Richard Branson

00:00:00.000 Richard Branson, you guys ever hear of the guy?

00:00:02.160 Richard Branson's a billionaire every other billionaire wants to be like.

00:00:04.960 I got an email almost a decade ago from a friend, and he goes,

00:00:07.640 you want to come spend a week with Richard at his home in Switzerland.

00:00:10.220 Look at my calendar, clear!

00:00:12.360 There's only one way to screw this up, Dan, is talking.

00:00:17.820 So, shut up.

00:00:19.820 I didn't say a lot, and I'm a guy that talks a lot, but I knew better.

00:00:22.540 The best conversation I had was with Helen, Richard's assistant.

00:00:26.460 Here's how Helen works.

00:00:27.600 Anything on his calendar goes through Helen.

00:00:29.640 everything when he says he doesn't have a phone and all that he doesn't need a phone

00:00:33.000 helen's got a phone and then every morning i watched them do this they sat down they had

00:00:37.200 breakfast for 60 minutes and she would only bring to him the stuff that she didn't know how to handle

00:00:41.360 and then he focused on the thing that he loved to do which is talk to other entrepreneurs about

00:00:45.340 what they're building and i watch him invest in four companies of the dozen people that were there

00:00:49.220 it was wild i came home and i changed my whole life
