In a sense, when we started Virgin Atlantic, I was trying to create an airline for myself. If you try to build the perfect airline for yourself, it will be appreciated by others.

More quotes by Richard Branson
All of us have just got to find that time to look after our bodies. That helps us make sure that our mind is sharp. I know that when I'm feeling great and really fit, I can get in three or four hours more of really productive work.
Richard Branson
If you want swashbuckling action in your life, become an entrepreneur and give it a go.
Richard Branson
Lavish praise on people and people will flourish criticize people and they'll shrivel up.
Richard Branson
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
I don't live my life thinking about if only. I just try to think positively about the future. We'll never know for certain what would have happened if we'd gone to Iraq. The important thing is that we've got to do everything we can to prevent other wars.
Richard Branson
Whether you are launching a start-up or leading an established company, you should start establishing your social media presence if you haven’t already.
Richard Branson
To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running, and if you have a good team around you and more than a fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can't guarantee it just by following someone else's formula.
Richard Branson
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.
Richard Branson
Seek out strategic alliances they are essential to growth and provide resistance to bigger competition.
Richard Branson
LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn't a success, welcome to the club.
Richard Branson
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Richard Branson
Doing good is good for business.
Richard Branson
Money gives you the freedom to do with your time what you want to do with it
Richard Branson
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.
Richard Branson
Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance.
Richard Branson
Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don't let them drag you into the mud.
Richard Branson
Explore this next great frontier where the boundaries between work and higher purpose are merging into one, where doing good really is good for business.
Richard Branson
When you are starting a business or going down any challenging endeavor, you are bound to encounter challenges. You are going to hit many roadblocks and obstacles. These are obstacles that would make any sane person want to throw in the towel and quit. If you want your business to succeed, you can’t do that (duh).
Richard Branson
I have enjoyed life a lot more by saying yes than by sayings no.
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.
Richard Branson
