Great read and it covers exactly the things you're discussing.

To spoil a bit of the fun, he acknowledges that he's been lucky, but also
says that 'luck favors the prepared', basically saying that working your ass
off and paying attention sort of helps you get lucky :)

Reminds me of a great comment Mark Cuban made recently (I can't find the
link), basically insinuating that if he was so lucky to do Broadcast.com and
other great deals, that he will continue to be 'lucky' and that it is in
fact about being good at what you do and working bloody hard.

Branson is more the perfect example of a combination of a first class entrepeneur in an economic point of view, know how and when to invest, and of a perfect 'out of the box thinker' that makes him a creative entrepeneur.
