5) FAQ

2007-04-07T22:33:00.000+02:00

1) Since when do you want to make your project with Richard Branson and Virgin?

Since 8 months. I decided myself in the summer 2006.
After making a real decision, i worked on my idea for developing it and personalizing around the Virgin Mark.
Before it, i worked on other projects with some friends. But i stopped it for working complety on it.

2) Why not contacting directly Virgin enterprises, or the Virgin enterprise which is in the market where your idea is? It could be more simple, no?

No, it would be simple for me. Why? Because, i don't know who are these persons.
Sure, if my idea is working i would work with them.
But like you see, i said "them", and if i didn't say any lastname of firstname, which mean that i don't know anything about "them" and i won't talk to them.
I could be really ok if i had the "ok go" from the boss (Richard Branson) and if my idea was protected, but before it, there is no way for giving any details...
I know that it gives more difficultys to me for meeting him, but it's like that: I accept the difficulty that i give to myself and it will take more time but it's a sure thing: I will meet him.

3) But, really, for truth, do you really think you will see him?

Yes! Definitly. If i have to go to Necker Island by swimming, for it, i WILL! :)
And i'm serious!

4) But, really, why do you want to meet ONLY him? Are you a sort of hysteric fan of Ricard Branson? Maybe a psychopath? Or in love with him?

He's a beautiful man but i'm not in love with him! :) Maybe if he was a woman i would! eh eh! lol!
Not a psychopat too! I just kill some animals and i eat some breaded childs or tartar of womans sometimes, but not all the time, so i think i'm a nice guy! lol!

No, more seriously, i gived all the reasons in the heading "2) Why i want to meet Richard Branson?" and "3) My project". You will understand why it is with him that i want to work with, and why it is with his mark Virgin that i want to work with.

5) Why there isn't a picture on your blog?

I like privacy, but it's not for this reason that i didn't put my picture.
I try a lot of things for meeting him. Really, a lot of things, and i don't want to beeing reconize easilly.
Why? I will explain you and i'm sure you will understand.
One day, i went to a show (conference) for meeting a person.
There was a bodyguard at the entry.
I really needed to enter in. So, i said that i was with a person which was inside it.
He asked to me who, and i gived a name (i knew names of people who were already in before going to the conference).
He saw the name, and like i was good and seems to be honest ( :p ) , he asked to me my ID Card for creating an entry to me.
It was a special show, so they had to take a picture for making the entry card.
Everything was ok, i went in.

Unfortunately, one month after i went to an other showroom... and there was the same bodyguard.
He recognized me.
And there was a thing i didn't know before coming to this second show (where i wasn't invited too).
After i leaved the first show, they checked the list of the people who went in the show at the last minut (for a reason that i don't know) and they verified the recommendations that these people gived for entering in it.
My recommendation was wrong (like i lied for entering) so they kept my picture in the case that i would come again.
So, in this second show, the bodyguard recognized me and he really took the time to verify my "recommendation" for this second show, before i enter.
I let imagine what it happens after. Fired, and they keeped my picture.

Since this event (which happens few years ago, when i didn't have experience for it, and not enough beard, lol. :) ) i don't give my picture, because i don't want to give more chances to people who can block me the road, to block it. It's already enough hard, and if someone reconize me on this blog and that she see me in 2 weeks in a show when i try to lie for answering in... i could be blocked only because she reconize me. It's a risk that i don't want to take, because giving my picture here won't change anything for helping me. The more important is me and my project. Knowing if i'm blond, brown, or every other colors hairs won't help you. :)

So, sorry but i won't give my picture even if you ask it to me.
And i don't think that it would make a difference for helping me to meet Richard Branson.
A lot of chairmans, and important people are on social networks without a picture (and a lot of people who are not "importants" people have no picture too) and it doesn't block anything for talking to them. Why could it block something with me? ;)

6) Ok, so why should i help you? Can i win something?

Winning something? You're going too fast. I didn't win any money actually with my idea.
But sure, it would be completly logic that you would have a "part of the cake" if i win some money. So, the answer is yes.

But, if you want some money for helping me to meet him, i'm ok.
You'll have to prove to me BEFORE any payment that you can really help me for meeting him because i'm not enough rich for accepting to search money just for paying you if there is no result after i paid you.
I have no money but i can find it if you can prove to me that you can help me to meet him.
By "result", i mean "for meeting Richard Branson", i don't talk about if i can make business
with him.
Making business with him depends only of me. If i can't make business with him (cause he doesn't accept my idea for example), you won't be responsible of it.
Don't send to me a message with asking 1 million $. I can find money but there are some limits. :)

But, there is not only money in life, so why should you help me?
I have no reasons. Really. I don't explain a lot of things about my idea in the "3) My project" heading, i know.
I don't find other reasons outside the money. Or beeing very nice.
Yes, "beeing very nice" and "give a chance to a young contractor" is a good reason, but i know that it won't be a good reason for everybody...

All i can say is: Help me, you won't regret it in all the ways.

6) And if i help you, and that your idea is an awful idea or simply a trivial idea, i will be like an idiot for having presented you to Richard Branson... cause of your fault. Why should i take this risk?

If this blog didn't make you think that there was real reasons to begin to trust in me a little, i can't do anything.
Really, i won't try again and again and again to convince each person.
The most important person to convince is Richard Branson, and i'm trying to meet him and in the same time to win money (for eating, paying my bills etc), and in the same time to find money for paying the best presentation possible for him for the day i will meet him.
I'm tired, i'm working like a mad guy. I really make my maximum. I can't do more.

Don't hesitate to write to me for asking some questions. I'm open for talking about everything. :)
But, i don't want to talk to a wall. It's one of the reasons that i don't want to work with business angels of banks. I don't want to talk to walls which imposing me their truth of the business.
Sure, i need to learn. Sure, i want to learn. But, i'm not an idiot, and don't want to learn from anybody.
I say it without any hate. I just say it with conviction.
Precision: i don't hate business angels or banks, but i know how they works in general, and it's not my kind of working. I'm not a fan of the results they want to impose (which can be really out of the reality of the original project), but i maybe falled on not great banks and B.A... .
It's allways a question of person and the bigs companys are at the same image of their chairman.
It' an other reason of why i want to work with Richard Branson and with Virgin.

So, if you write to me without the real intention to help me, please don't.
If you have advices (even not nice advices, but constructives advices) to give to me, i'm open.
I don't need people who will try to use my spirits.
All that i ask is good intentions from people who write to me. :)

So, for answering more at this question:
Everything is risk. I took some risks in my life. I won, i losed, and sometimes i losed at the beginning for winning at the end...
If you don't accept the risk to trust me, to believe a little in me, i can't take the risk for you.
I'm already taking mines. :)
I can only say to you that i won't put you in an uncertain position with him.
If i make all my possible to meet him, it's only because i have enough elements for meeting him.
I would feel too shamed before seeing him if i thought that i my project wasn't ready.
Sure, i want to make my project better, but i allways want to make it better. I work like it. :)
I have enough elements for meeting him. I feel ready. I am ready. It's not an illusion. I don't like to give to myself illusions. It makes me nervous. :)

7) Ok, and if i help you, and that he doesn't like your idea or that he like but doesn't want to making work your idea, what wil you do after it?

Oh, then, i will be really really really sad. I know me. I won't smile...
I won't hate him, you can be sure of it! :) I will still like him, but i will be very sad.

I think that i would make a depression for one month and then after it, i will do what i really didn't want to do: Working with business angels and banks...

But, sorry, you will think that i'm very pretentious, but i'm sure he will love my idea.
I'm sure of it caused of the work that i made these last months.
I personalised and developed my idea around the Virgin mark.
You have more details on "3) My project".

I'm sure he will love it.
But even if he love it but he doesn't want to put money in it, i will find other investors.

8) Ok, i know him (or i know someone who could persuase him to give you an appointment with him). I can help you. What do you need exactly?

Between 10 minuts to 1 hour with him.

Why?
For 2 reasons:
1) I need to find some money because i want to make a beautiful a professional presentation to him.
If i don't find the money (between 25 000 and 35 000$), my presentation will be very little in time (10 minuts).
If i find the money, it will be more long because i could make a very good and complete presentation of it (1 hour).

2) It will depend of the face he will make when he will heard the basee of the idea.
If he doesn't like it, 3 minuts will be ok and i won't need more... unfortunately.
If he like, the time of my presentation will depend of the first reason (between 10 minuts to 1 hour).

The appointment would be where he wants. I prefer anywhere in Europe (includes UK) because it's more easy for me (and it wouldn't cost too much for me/ like i said, i'm not very rich), but if it have to be outside of Europe i'm completly ok for it. (If you says to me that he would give to me an appointment in Irak or in Kosovo, i would ask to myself some questions... :) , so please, scammers or every other people like that, don't write to me. It would be nice. ).

I'm sure you'll understand it. :)

News:

-------------------------

Week 2-8 April 2007:

Wesnesday 4:

I learned the name of the actual first assistant of Richard Branson.

I search more and i found her lastname.

Now, i need to find her phone.

If someone can help me (or confirm to me her lastname, that i won't give here sure. Write to me if you know her name. I'll give you and you'll maybe help me for knowing if i was right).

Friday 6:

I found new informations on internet and it gived some new ideas about how to meet him. I will try to see if it can works...

Saturday 7:

I open this blog, and begin to write on it.

-------------------------

I met the chairman of Virgin Mobile. Unfortunately it didn't give anything.
But it's already something! If i could met him, i could meet Richard Branson too. :)

3) My project

2007-04-07T22:17:00.001+02:00

I want to meet Richard Branson for talking with him about my project.
But you maybe ask to yourself (and to me) what is this project.

I will try to answer the best that i can.

I can't explain to you what is my project. I didn't protect my project. It cost too much money and i don't have this money. If you think that i'm paranoid, you're right. I am. But do i have the choice, and should i really lost my paranoid? I don't think so. Too much people had their ideas and their projects stole by bad people. It's not an illusion. It's the reality and it happens everyday.
Never anyone said to me to talk to my ideas to everybody.
It's hard to explain the project without saying the more interesting part of it.
But it's all the problem: The more interest part is not protected, and if i talk on this blog about the project i could just say trivial things on it...
Not very interesting for you.

For explaining a little more to you where i am exactly now in my idea, i would say that i've already made a business plan (more than 50 pages actually), but i'm in a point where i have to find money for continuing to work. Not a lot, (but a lot for me: Between 25 000 and 35 000$).

If i don't find it, it's not a catastrophy, but i would like to make a complete presentation of my project the day i will meet Richard Branson.
(I can give some details about why i need between 25 000 and 35 000$ if you want.
Just send me a message on "6) Contact me").

I know the Virgin mark and Richard Branson since a lot of years, and i always thought that one day i would work with him, but it wasn't the time for me.
Now is the time. I'm ready.

I only want to do it with Richard Branson and the Virgin mark.

I'm sure, by knowing Virgin and Richard Branson (i have read a lot of interviews of Richard Branson, informationss of Virgin etc) that this idea is right for the working way of Virgin and Richard Branson. It's perfectly for it, or should i say Virgin is the perfectly mark for my idea.

These lasts months, i particularly worked on giving orientations on my business plan in the way of Virgin mark. I personalized it to the Virgin mark.

I made a logo myself for the mark too, i did the maximum with the less of money that i had.
My idea is special so i developed it in special ways, i worked on special ways of marketing, i've invented few scenarios of publicity, worked for making interactions with other brands of Virgin etc...
I worked in a global way of thinking because i'm working like that for all of my other ideas.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I would do my best for answering to you. :)

2) Why i want to meet Richard Branson ?

2007-04-07T20:33:00.000+02:00

Why i want to meet him? Why not an other person?

Very simple:

First: I like him. I think it is the better contractor in the world, and i think it should be a nice guy. When i say "nice", i don't mean silly or naive, i mean "easy to work with" (at the condition that he would like my idea and the project around my idea).
I don't want to work with people that i don't like. I am a better worker when i work with pleasure and so (if i'm not alone on it) working with people that i like.
I have enough experience for knowing myself what i want to do, and how i want to do it.

I can work with people that i don't like. I can. But i allways ask to myself "why doing it?":
For money?: It could be a good reason at the condition that i would win enough money... for never working with people that i don't like.
For glory?: Glory doesn't interest me. Beeing happy and using money for it are my 2 best reasons. And as you see i put "Beeing happy" in first...

Second: I like his mark and what Richard Branson gived to her. Virgin is a mark that i know since i'm a child, and i allways liked this mark (caused of Richard Branson like everybody i think) and caused of the position of this mark through the world.
I can say it: i like the image that Virgin gives to the people. :)

Third: I know how business works. I know i want to make business. I don't want to talk about my idea to 50 000 people intermediaries before having a luck to talk to him.
I can't protect my idea cause of money. I'm not rich. My only richness is to beeing myself an "idea box" and to developed it on the paper. Sometimes good ideas. Sometimes not very good. And when i have luck, excellents ideas.
If i talk (in details) of my idea(s) to each person i see, i can be sure to heard about my idea on TV, Radio, or press in the next 2 years, and i don't to take these kind of risks.
These last months, i choosed to work on only one idea. It's not the better idea that i had in my life, but i think the idea which could give to me the maximum of money.

And... Fourth: I don't want to work with Business angels or Banks. I want to have the power on my idea. I want to control it, and make it grow WITH a person and not UNDER the order of a person.
Yes, i like to be independant, but i know that i need help for my idea and i'm open to somehelp, but not a help which will have from result to steal my idea, fired of my own enterprise, and winning just 5 or 6$...
Not for me.
Even if a potential investor doesn't like that i don't want to talk in details about my idea before investing in it. I know too much examples of people who losed their idea because they didn't take enough precautions.
All the people (honnest chairmans of differents enterprises) that i discussed with said to me that i was right and to take care of everything, and i have myself enough experience for knowing when someone really wants to make business or heelping you and when someone wants only to have more and more and more informations on you, what you do in your life, where do you live, who do you know etc etc etc... and for finally not helping you by the way.

So, all the informations that i give on this blog are ALL that i can give. Sorry, not more. Sure, you can write to me and ask any questions. Don't hesitate. But it's for asking to me some secrets about my project, there is no way for it.

You can go on the other message which is called "My project".
I gived the maximum of details that i can give without knowing who is reading, and if this person can really help me. I hope you would understand it.

I do my best. :)

Five:
Because, objectively, Virgin is the only mark which could be the better mark for my idea.
I explain why i think that Virgin is the best mark for my idea, in the heading which is called "My project".
Sure, there could be other marks, but i know what i want, and why i want it.

Precision:
I'm not a sort of dreamer who think that meeting Richard Branson could be the solution to everything.
Sure, i'm nervous about meeting him, but i really imagine things with clearness.
I know that meeting him doesn't mean that he will say "YES" to my project.
I know that he can say "no" to my project. I accept this possibility but it doesn't block me for trying to meet him.
What could i do else?
Sure, there are other solutions than meeting only him, but these are other solutions for a "second plan" if meeting him doesn't making me any business with him.
So, if you think that i put all my hope in meeting him and that i could suicide myself if he reject my project, don't care, it will be fine. :)
I won't suicide myself! lol.

1) Who am I ?

2007-04-07T19:49:00.001+02:00

Good morning! :)
I'm Vince.
I'm around 20 years old.
I speak english and french. (my english is not the best as you see. If there is some very bad faults on my blog, don't hesitate to say it to me on the "6) Contact me" heading please. :) ).

I created this blog because i don't have the time to fill all the forms on all the social networks where i subscribed, and for having a place where people can contact me and having more informations about what i try to do: Meeting Richard Branson.

It's hard to talk about me. It's a very narcissistic exercise. I don't know what to say, but i'll try.

Talking about i like to do must be like talking about me! :)

I'm a guy who like to conceive things.
I am a sort of creative guy, artist, conceiver, thinker, contractor, who likes to create things in all fields of the life. I am a creative problem solver. I love to do it.
I'm a sort of mix of few desires.
When i don't know exactly how it works, if it interesting me, i can learn very fast.

I won't be hypocritical: I want to be rich. Not as a final goal.
It's a mean for doing what i like in my life and for beeing independent.
But i know what kind of life i want. It would be hard to have the life i want with not much money.
You will say to me: "Everybody wants to be rich".
I would answer: "No. Definitly no".
There is a difference between "think that it could be great to be rich" and "wanted to be rich".
I see the difference between a lot of people.
There are choices to make in the life.
You'll maybe pay for it.
You'll maybe alone in your choices.
But, these choices will make all the differences in the difference of "think that it could be great to be rich" and "wanted to be rich". It will help you to do what it is REALLY necessary to do for it.
I made the choices few years ago. I paid it in different ways. But it was a good investment in myself.

The calcul is simple:
Hard investment.
Big price.
But... Big cash back.

It's a calcul to make and you have to make it when you are young before entering in a life where it will be hard to going out.
But when i thought to the other choices i had, the kind of life i could have if i did what people imposed to, it was easy to choose my own way... :)
Believe in yourself. Not as a passive believing. Work with faith. Learn to take some pauses in your own faith. It helps to take retreat and seeing if you are on your good way.
And after few years, you will be ready for beginning your real life.

My specialitys and things that i can (and like) do:
Finding informations on the web.
Web 2.0.
New technologys
Philosophy (personal)
Other lots of things, but you will maybe learn it if you'll know me more...

My school past:
No comment. A "special way", i would say. Not the way wanted finally. Too long and too short in the same time. School wasn't very fun, but it maybe caused of the kind of teachers and kind of school i had. I don't like to talk about it. I don't like people who praise their school past (or praise other things). I don't praise myself for School or for anything. I just say what i like, what i want to do, what i can do. The rest is not important for me.

You can't choose anything at school so it makes frustration.
School is a good thing only when it doesn't try to format the brain of its students, and i don't think that i was in a school like it (like 99,99% of the schools on this planet)...

I keeped from school a need of independence that i already had since i was child. It was more present after school. :)
But i learned one thing: Life is the real school, and i learned more outside of school that inside.
School is only useful if you learn things that you can use for your future (and i don't talk only about professional life). Life is school. Learning nothings of interesting makes me die in my brain.

My qualities: It's allways hard to say.
I have imagination. I am open to life and others (not all the time, because it's hard, but i do my best). I am curious of everything.
And a perfect body. But this should be obviousness... ;)

My defects: It's allways hard to say too. :)
I know exactly what i want so sometimes people can think that i'm too much in what i do, and too concentrate in it. "Stop to think that you can do it. Everything does not depend of what you want".
And i generaly answer: "I know that everything does not depend of me. But does it mean that i must stop? In this case, i can stop all the rest so, even my own life. I'm never sure to win, but know HOW to win. It depends of time and of the strong of your will".

But unfortunately, i would like to say to you that they were finally right, but each time i was finally right. It doesn't let me think that i can't lose, because i know how much life is hard, but when i heard myself, i had allways success.
Unfortunately, i didn't hear myself all the time. It maybe means to you that i am open, but it means to me that i should listen myself all the time, when i'm really sure of what i do.

Other defect: I can be good in a lot of things, but only if it gives me pleasure, or if i have a real reason to not having pleasure.
If there is no pleasure or no reason to not having it, it's very hard for me and i finish to stop what i do. It gived me difficultys for a lot of things, but it gives advantages: When i really want something, my imagination is like some corn which makes "pop", "pop", "pop". :)
With experience, i learned, before doing something, if i could have a real chance to be good in it.
Sometimes, when i had an idea which was in an activity sector that i didn't know, i knew before working if that it would be easy for me to developed my idea and to search informations around this activity sector.

Last defect: A perfect body. But, i've already said it, no?... lol
