More quotes by Richard Branson
Listen to the customer's complaint and act fast.
Richard Branson
I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive then I believe you are better off not doing it. A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.
Richard Branson
You're offering a great service. People are tuning in. So continue to find great people, continue to do what you're doing. And do it better than your rivals. I know that's easier said than done.
Richard Branson
The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.
Richard Branson
We're going where no one has gone before. There's no model to follow, nothing to copy. That is what makes this so exciting.
Richard Branson
Don't think what's the cheapest way to do it or what's the fastest way to do it. Think what's the most amazing way to do it.
Richard Branson
The funny thing is people won't let me pay for things. I'll be in a restaurant and the manager will say, 'Oh no, it's on the house.'
Richard Branson
Smiling can be a competitive advantage. It makes everyone feel better and every situation brighter.
Richard Branson
Rather than getting nostalgic...embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.
Richard Branson
We, we - as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.
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
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
Lavish praise on people and people will flourish criticize people and they'll shrivel up.
Richard Branson
It is not for me (to decide). It is up to the company to decide whether the price is fair or not.
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
Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.
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
We will eventually build space science labs and hotels, prodding the capability for missions beyond the orbit of the Earth. Our space-hotel guests will be able to take breath-taking excursions, flying a couple of hundred feet above the Moon's surface in small two-man spaceships. In time, we will launch missions to Mars and beyond.
Richard Branson
Smoking marijuana, as long as you leave the nicotine out of it, is certainly no more damaging than having a drink, and I suspect better for you than having a drink.
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
