More quotes by Richard Branson
It is not for me (to decide). It is up to the company to decide whether the price is fair or not.
Richard Branson
I never learned the rules in the first place. To change the game is at the heart of what Virgin stands for, so the company culture has always been: Don't sweat it: rules were meant to be broken.
Richard Branson
It always pays off to focus on things that will make you feel proud. Remember this during every difficult decision you face.
Richard Branson
I find it very difficult to think of mistakes not that I don't make any but because I was brought up to look only at the good things in life ... As for what lost the most money, probably Virgin Cola. It is still No 1 in Bangladesh though.
Richard Branson
Set impossible challenges. Then catch up with them.
Richard Branson
Sometimes miracles come in pairs.
Richard Branson
If a chairman of a company visits Seattle, that chairman should take all the staff out in the evening and have a few drinks together, talk together and party together and not be embarrassed about the staff seeing the weaker side of you.
Richard Branson
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
The truth is this: the Earth cannot provide enough food and fresh water for 10 billion people, never mind homes, never mind roads, hospitals and schools.
Richard Branson
I am no stranger to healthy competition-wor king hard and playing hard
Richard Branson
Look, I think that when we started Virgin Atlantic 30 years ago, we had one 747 competing with the airlines that had an average of 300 planes each. Every single one of those have gone bankrupt because they didn't have customer service. They had might, but they didn't have customer service, so customer service is everything in the end.
Richard Branson
If you don't succeed at first, there's no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again.
Richard Branson
Above all, you want to create something you're proud of.
Richard Branson
I just like to enjoy life and push myself. Of course, there is method to my madness. When you are entering into a new industry, for example, it helps to do something to get your name on the front pages.
Richard Branson
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.
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
It is important in life to turn adversity to success
Richard Branson
If you get into business solely to make money, you won’t. If you try to make a real difference, you’ll find success.
Richard Branson
Money is a poor indicator of success.
Richard Branson
I've never sued anybody, though there have been one or two occasions I've wanted to strangle one or two people.
Richard Branson
