Richard Branson gets 1 million followers on LinkedIn in 6 weeks!

This guy has clout like crazy! Without a doubt, he is one of the most popular people on the planet- maybe because he makes being a billionaire look like so much fun! Here is an excerpt of what he said on his LinkedIn page:

"Thanks to everyone who has joined in here on LinkedIn as we share thoughts and ideas on the site. It’s incredible that more than one million of you have got involved and started following me within the past six weeks.

While it’s difficult to comprehend such a huge number as one million, the same can be said when thinking about customers in your business. When you start a small company, it may be hard to imagine getting to a few hundred customers, let alone millions. The key is to think about customers as individuals and to treat them that way, rather than just looking at a mass of statistics."

Nice!
