Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once.

More quotes by Richard Branson
I think entrepreneurship is our natural state--a big adult word that probably boils down to something much more obvious like playfulness.
Richard Branson
Dream big by setting yourself seemingly impossible challenges. You then have to catch up with them.
Richard Branson
If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.
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
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 have always lived my life by thriving on opportunity and adventure. Some of the best ideas come out of the blue, and you have to keep an open mind to see their virtue.
Richard Branson
Kite surfing is a great way of keeping fit. Kiting is great because you're bouncing over the waves and you're surfing the waves. I do quite long kite surfs-50 miles in a day.

Past failures unlock future successes
Richard Branson
If you spot an opportunity and are really excited by it, throw yourself into it with everything you've got.
Richard Branson
I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.
Richard Branson
Our model is to develop each business separately with its own shareholder and management - this way we can concentrate on the job in hand, rather than be part of some enormous and faceless conglomerate.
Richard Branson
I always tell other people to protect against the downside, and not risk roughing on new ventures, but I never stuck to that rule myself.
Richard Branson
Companies need to have a lot more flexibility with their people... . If somebody wants to golf around the world for two months, okay, well, maybe on an unpaid basis, let them do it. That sort of flexibility I think is incredibly important because most of our time, we spend at work.
Richard Branson
At the end, entrepreneurship is not about wearing expensive suits and earning a lot of money. It is all about being true to yourself, to your values in life. Your dreams.
Richard Branson
Engage your emotions at work. Your instincts and emotions are there to help you.
Richard Branson
Anyone who makes an effort at whatever they hope to accomplish can, and will, seriously improve their chances of succeeding.
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
Take the competition seriously, but not yourself.
Richard Branson
Exploration is a wonderful way to open our eyes to the world, & to truly see that impossible is just a word.
Richard Branson
It's really important to find an hour or two to a day to make sure that you keep healthy, keep fit. It's very easy just to forget that aspect. And if you're feeling really good and fit, I think you can get two or three extra hours a day of hard work in as well.
Richard Branson
