Hi Amorn,

A Mind Map is a means of expressing ideas in a simplified format. You can effectively utilize the Richard Branson Mind Map as a reference guide. Simply print it out, stick it up on your wall and refer to it throughout the day.

Because the Mind Map summarizes the blog article, you won’t need to refer to the article in order to get a grasp of the main points and ideas which are presented within the Mind Map itself.

Hope this helps.

I do agree with you Omar, and I completely understand where you are coming from. I think that when it comes down to it, we are all giving some kind of value to others. However, many people are going about it the wrong way and are struggling to make a living. Before we can effectively provide value to others, we must first learn to value ourselves (our time, energy, creativity, money, etc). And once we value ourselves accordingly, than we are ready to make a living by providing high levels of value for other people. However, if we skip over this step, than we may very well struggle to understand why we are not 100% content or happy within ourselves and with life.

- Value yourself first.
- Put a price on your worth.
- Put a price on your time.
- Put a price on your energy.
- Put a price on your creativity.

Now go out into the world and serve others by giving the highest level of value you can provide them with – giving of your time, energy, money and creativity. Only in this way will we ever find true happiness, completion and material satisfaction. And as much as people may tell us that material things aren’t necessary – they are in fact kidding themselves. We don’t live in the Stone Age; we live in the 21st Century, where material possessions and wealth provide us with opportunities to create a better life for ourselves, for others, and to create a better world.

Hope this helps.
