Sometimes miracles come in pairs.
Richard Branson
Image
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.

I was trouble - and always in trouble. Aged eight I still couldn't read. In fact, I was dyslexic and short-sighted. Despite sitting at the front of the class, I couldn't read the blackboard. Only after a couple of terms did anyone think to have my eyes tested. Even when I could see, the letters and numbers made no sense at all.

There's nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that. It beats drugs, drink, and almost anything else I know.

It always pays off to focus on things that will make you feel proud. Remember this during every difficult decision you face.

Fun is one of the most important - and underrated - ingredients in any successful venture. If you're not having fun, then it's probably time to call it quits and try something else.

We must rapidly wean ourselves off our dependence on coal and fossil fuels.
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
Image
A company's employees are its greatest asset and your people are your product

Don’t just play the game – change it for good.
Richard Branson
Image
And obviously, from our own personal point of view, the principal challenge is a personal challenge.
Richard Branson
Image
Over the years I have found one of my best strengths is my ability to recognise talent and trust them.
Richard Branson
Image
As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.
Richard Branson

Money is a poor indicator of success.
Richard Branson
Image
I am constantly pushing myself and my own expectations and have always found that I've always come out better for it. Fear is human nature, but turning fear into opportunity is what will make a difference. I would much rather look back at my life saying I can't believe I did that, than, What if I had done that?
Richard Branson

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself
Richard Branson
Image
We should all seek to innovate, or be curious about innovation. Innovation truly is one of our greatest gifts.

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.
