Richard Branson
Life's too short. If you're passionate - stand up.

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
I am a great believer that you need passion and energy to create a truly successful business. Remember many new businesses do not make it and running a business will be a tough experience, involving long hours and many hard decisions - it helps to have that passion to keep you going.

I am passionate about many things but conserving our planet and its species is a high priority of mine.
Richard Branson
When I started Virgin from a basement in west London, there was no great plan or strategy. I didn't set out to build a business empire ... For me, building a business is all about doing something to be proud of, bringing talented people together and creating something that's going to make a real difference to other people's lives.
Richard Branson
And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.
Richard Branson
Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity. Treat those around you with respect and dignity and they will thrive.
Richard Branson
I think business needs to have a heart and to have a heart a company must be more than just a moneymaking machine.
Richard Branson
Every single astronaut who has come back from space comes back determined to do more to protect it.
Richard Branson
