More quotes by Richard Branson
Entrepreneurial business favours the open mind. It favours people whose optimism drives them to prepare for many possible futures, pretty much purely for the joy of doing so.
Richard Branson
Right now I'm just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.
Richard Branson
Loyal employees in any company create loyal customers, who in turn create happy shareholders.
Richard Branson
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.
Richard Branson
Publicity is absolutely critical. A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front page ad.
Richard Branson
I never went into business just to make money - but I found that if I have fun, the money will come. I often ask myself, is my work fun and does it make me happy? I believe that the answer to that is more important than fame or fortune. If it stops being fun, I ask why? If I can't fix it, I stop doing it.
Richard Branson
Well, we know that people in Australia love the idea of both Impulse and Virgin Blue getting up and adding a bit of competition, and it's fun to be able to deliver it.
Richard Branson

Richard Branson
Your company should act as a springboard for ambitious employees, not a set of shackles.
Richard Branson

Richard Branson
Leading by fear is a lot of companies' approach, and a horrible way for people to exist in their lives, when most of your life is spent at work.
Richard Branson
Realize that the people who are working with you, this is their life. You know, 80% of their time is spent at work. Make sure that they're proud of what they're doing, that they're enjoying what they're doing.
Richard Branson
I think I've learned that if you have a house, you end up living in the kitchen, so if you have one big kitchen and then enough bedrooms for your family, that's about all you need for a home.
Richard Branson
You're offering a great service. People are tuning in. So continue to find great people, continue to do what you're doing. And do it better than your rivals. I know that's easier said than done.
Richard Branson
I like to take chances on people, and whenever possible, promote from within - it sends a great message to everyone in the company when someone demonstrates a passion for the job and leadership skills at every step along the way and is rewarded with a leadership role.
Richard Branson
What can you do to make a difference? And why should you do it? (...) the scale of one's social investments doesn't matter. What matters is that you operate as a force for good at every scale available to you.
Richard Branson
We've all got to do everything we can to avoid conflicts.
Richard Branson
Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain.
Richard Branson
Exploration is a wonderful way to open our eyes to the world, & to truly see that impossible is just a word.
Richard Branson
