Sir Branson Response
Thank you for your post. Indeed Sir Branson’s family had a significant effect on his success, and I agree with your assessment on self-efficacy as one of his prominent qualities. For a person who grows up learning that he can always successfully conquer different challenges in his environment, there was a guarantee that he would develop as much tenacity as has influenced his success in the entrepreneurial sector.
