"It’s fun taking a walk down memory lane, and seeing how far we’ve come and what we’ve achieved.
"My friend Kenny Kemp recently uncovered this little gem, from my 1972 diary."
"A year after writing this list, in 1973, we launched our Virgin Records label from The Manor, signed Mike Oldfield and released Tubular Bells – one of the biggest selling albums of the decade and the soundtrack to The Exorcist.
"From there Virgin Records grew and grew, and the rest, as they say, is history."Branson said: "Lists not only provide great structure for getting things done, but they also help us to set goals and achieve our dreams."
