More quotes by Richard Branson
The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
Richard Branson
I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other - and we still are.
Richard Branson
There are millions of people out there who would love to become astronauts, who'd love to go to space - they'd love to look back at this wonderful world from space. That will be the engine that will enable us then to develop spaceships to transport people around the world at tremendous speeds in an environmentally friendly way.
Richard Branson
Realize that the people who are working with you, this is their life. You know, 80% of their time is spent at work. Make sure that they're proud of what they're doing, that they're enjoying what they're doing.
Richard Branson
If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.
Richard Branson
When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.
Richard Branson
If you are a new startup company, try not to arouse the interest or suspicion of your competition especially if they are a bigger company. They can crush you while you are still in your startup phase. Lie low while still strengthening your bottom line.
Richard Branson
Take the competition seriously, but not yourself.
Richard Branson
We should focus on what people get done, not on how many hours or days worked. Just as we don't have a nine-to-five policy, we don't need a vacation policy.
Richard Branson
Every single astronaut who has come back from space comes back determined to do more to protect it.
Richard Branson
My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself
Richard Branson
I personally don't believe anything is impossible. With enough determination and effort, almost everything is possible.
Richard Branson
There's no better satisfaction than watching the people around you, who have worked day and night to get something right, realising the dream.
Richard Branson
When you're first thinking through an idea, it's important not to get bogged down in complexity. Thinking simply and clearly is hard to do.
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
To have created one of the most respected companies in the world. Not necessarily the biggest.
Richard Branson
To succeed in business you need to be original, but you also need to understand what your customers want.
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
Money is a poor indicator of success.
Richard Branson
Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality.
