More quotes by 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
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
In the same way that I tend to make up my mind about people within thirty seconds of meeting them, I also make up my mind about whether a business proposal excites me within about thirty seconds of looking at it. I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.
Richard Branson
Life's too short. If you're passionate - stand up.

Richard Branson
Whether we're fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don't have enough people who can code
Richard Branson
Brands always mean something. If you don't define what the brand means, your competitors will
Richard Branson
A generation ago, the image was that you had to trample everyone else down to succeed but I don't believe that makes good business sense.
Richard Branson
To stand still today is to go backwards...and quickly...!
Richard Branson
I am passionate about many things but conserving our planet and its species is a high priority of mine.
Richard Branson
Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain.
Richard Branson
I will work day and night to avoid failure, but if I can't, I'll pick myself up the next day. The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure.
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.
