Dan Martell - Richard Branson's #1 success secret

00:00:00.000 I'm sitting in San Francisco, and I get an email.

00:00:02.900 Hey, Dan, about to head over to do a vacation with Richard Branson.

00:00:05.960 Curious if you want to come.

00:00:06.920 Let me check my calendar.

00:00:08.120 Clear!

00:00:08.860 So I'm sitting there, and the only thing I wanted to learn was how does the billionaire

00:00:14.700 that every other billionaire in the world wants to be like, how does he live his life?

00:00:20.300 But this is the one thing that I saw him do that changed my whole life.

00:00:24.120 Every morning, he has breakfast with Helen.

00:00:26.680 Helen is his executive assistant.

00:00:28.280 And what she does is all the demands on Richard that come through email and other requests, they don't go to him.

00:00:35.340 She collects them.

00:00:37.000 She answers all the ones she can.

00:00:38.680 And over breakfast, she only presents to him the things that she doesn't know how he would want to handle.

00:00:44.240 He gives her some thoughts and feedbacks.

00:00:46.120 She runs with it.

00:00:47.020 He comes ski with us all day.

00:00:49.000 She works to move and route all that forward.

00:00:51.780 If you don't have an executive assistant, you actually do.

00:00:55.060 It's you and you suck.

00:00:57.440 You're overpaid and you're not good at your job.
