In a recent interview by Entrepreneur.com with Richard Branson (Virgin Companies), he was asked to commented on asking questions.
“One of the reasons my friends and I were successful early on was because we always asked a lot of questions. I was willing to listen to anyone who could help, and over the years many people volunteered their advice.
