A good leader leads from the front. Don't get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.
Richard Branson
Image
Take a chance - it's the best way to test yourself, have fund and push boundaries.
Richard Branson
Image
I have had a lot of fun pushing the boundaries on my balloon and kitesurf adventures, breaking some world records in the process, and I think this attitude of having fun whilst working hard is one that lends itself very well to successful entrepreneurship.
Richard Branson
Image
I've never sued anybody, though there have been one or two occasions I've wanted to strangle one or two people.

Image
Flowers flourish when they're watered, and shrivel up when they're not. People are no different. The best leaders are the ones who look for the best in people.
Richard Branson
Image
We're going where no one has gone before. There's no model to follow, nothing to copy. That is what makes this so exciting.

Coming up with the bucket list is the easy part, but ticking off the list is the challenge. I love a good challenge, which is why I strongly advise everyone to come up with a bucket list. It doesn't have to contain out of this world tasks. But once you have written down the list, screw it, just do it!

Entrepreneursh ip is a great leveller, since having the benefit of a wealthy background or a generous investor isn't always an advantage. The wonderful thing is that money is not the sole currency when it comes to starting a business drive, determination, passion and hard work are all free and more valuable than a pot of cash.

If you have an idea that's going to make a big difference to people's lives, and other people are not doing it, you know, just say screw it, do it and get on with it, and give it a go.

It is only by being bold that you get anywhere. If you are a risk-taker, then the art is to protect the downside.
Richard Branson
Image
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.

Smiling can be a competitive advantage. It makes everyone feel better and every situation brighter.

I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's Tubular Bells [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.

Although my spelling is still sometimes poor, I have managed to overcome the worst of my difficulties through training myself to concentrate.

It is not for me (to decide). It is up to the company to decide whether the price is fair or not.

Government and business must come together on the interlinked issues of conservation, economic development and renewable energy. There are literally thousands of businesses, many in the tourism industry, that depend on an intact marine environment for their long-term survival.
