More quotes by Richard Branson
I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.

So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.
Richard Branson
Space travel will be like every other business. There will be competitors. . . . Thirty months from now, I'm confident we'll be flying people into space.
Richard Branson
Two bricklayers work side by side. The first lays bricks. The second builds magnificent cathedrals. Think small vs. think big.
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.

The best advice I got from my dad? Wear a condom.
Richard Branson
To me, business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.
Richard Branson
When I started Virgin from a basement in west London, there was no great plan or strategy. I didn't set out to build a business empire ... For me, building a business is all about doing something to be proud of, bringing talented people together and creating something that's going to make a real difference to other people's lives.
Richard Branson

I've had many challenges - every entrepreneur does - it's the nature of the beast.
