More quotes by Richard Branson
Fun is one of the most important - and underrated - ingredients in any successful venture. If you're not having fun, then it's probably time to call it quits and try something else.
Richard Branson
You can never go too far wrong by thinking like a customer who’s new to the business.
Richard Branson
I am a believer in trying to treat people properly and trying to respond and making sure that I find the time to be courteous.
Richard Branson
We will eventually build space science labs and hotels, prodding the capability for missions beyond the orbit of the Earth. Our space-hotel guests will be able to take breath-taking excursions, flying a couple of hundred feet above the Moon's surface in small two-man spaceships. In time, we will launch missions to Mars and beyond.
Richard Branson
The idea that business is strictly a numbers affair has always struck me as preposterous. For one thing, I've never been particularly good at numbers, but I think I've done a reasonable job with feelings. And I'm convinced that it is feelings - and feelings alone - that account for the success of the Virgin brand in all of its myriad forms.
Richard Branson
Any successful entrepreneur knows that time is more valuable than money itself.
Richard Branson
Business is the force of change. Business is essential to solving the climate crisis, because this is what business is best at: innovating, changing, addressing risks, searching for opportunities. There is no more vital task
Richard Branson
Everybody has a camera on their phone these days, everybody wants a selfie or a picture, and the moment one person starts taking a picture everybody congregates around so I've become quite a fast walker. I don't like saying, No, to people but by walking fast one might be able to avoid the first photo.
Richard Branson
I decided there must be room for another airline when I spent two days trying to get through to People Express.
Richard Branson
Sometimes the riskiest decision you can make is to do nothing.
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
I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.
Richard Branson
Grow internally first. Strengthen your bottom line first before considering external growth.
Richard Branson
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.
Richard Branson
Right now I'm just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.
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
Be creative. Innovate consistently on the little things that the big companies ignore. Little things often make big differences in business.
Richard Branson
To be a great leader, you must be a great listener
Richard Branson
I've had many challenges - every entrepreneur does - it's the nature of the beast.
Richard Branson
We have a business that some people feel pollutes, and I happen to agree with them. ... And so on the basis of trying to do good and, you know, hopefully turn a profit, what we did was we pledged that we'd put all the profits from our airline business into trying to develop clean fuels.
