More quotes by Richard Branson
After all - life is not a dress rehearsal!
Richard Branson
On conflicts, generally speaking, the world is a hell of a lot better to live in today than it was thirty years ago, despite what's going on in Syria. There are definitely hopeful signs that the world is moving, decade by decade, in the right direction.
Richard Branson
If you want swashbuckling action in your life, become an entrepreneur and give it a go.
Richard Branson
And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.
Richard Branson
I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive then I believe you are better off not doing it. A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
Richard Branson
To have created one of the most respected companies in the world. Not necessarily the biggest.
Richard Branson
Building a business is not rocket science, it's about having a great idea and seeing it through with integrity.
Richard Branson
I've been very lucky. I come from a very close family. I'm also in a relationship that's been really good. Lasted a long time. We've got wonderful kids from that relationship, and they've had the benefit of being together. It's fantastic to have that sort of togetherness. It's a rarity these days.
Richard Branson
What's the most critical factor in any business decision you'll ever have to make? Basically, it boils down to this question: If this all crashes, will it bring the whole house tumbling down like a pack of cards? One business matra remains embedded in my brain - protect the downside.
Richard Branson
Business leaders take things far too seriously, and forget that most of the time people spend in their lives is at work, and it should be fun.
Richard Branson
So I've seen life as one long learning process.
Richard Branson
Business is what concerns us. If you care about something enough to do something about it, you're in business
Richard Branson
I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other - and we still are.
Richard Branson
If you want milk, don't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in the hope that a cow will back up to you.
Richard Branson
We will be producing supersonic planes which will go far, far faster than Concordes. New York to Tokyo could be less than an hour. You could be traveling at 19,000 miles an hour orbitally.
Richard Branson
A company's employees are its greatest asset and your people are your product
Richard Branson
Ideally, since 80 percent of your life is spent working, you should start your business around something that is a passion of yours
Richard Branson
Put your passions to work to make this world a better place.
Richard Branson
I am impressed with just the enthusiasm for life and the fact that some of these people are in their 80's, even 90's, and they're absolutely determined to get out there and make a difference.
Richard Branson
Throughout my business life I have always tried to keep on top of costs and protect the downside risk as much possible. The Virgin Group has survived only because we have always kept tight control of our cash. But, likewise, I also know that sometimes it is essential to break these rules and spend lavishly.
Richard Branson
