Listen. Take the best. Leave the rest.
Richard Branson
Engage your emotions at work. Your instincts and emotions are there to help you.
Richard Branson
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Richard Branson
No matter where my travels take me, my day starts with a good work out, preferably kitesurfing or tennis. Exercise puts me in the right state of mind for the day. Dedicating time in the morning to exercise your body will make a big difference when you have to focus your mind on the day's work.
Richard Branson
It's never easy to set up any business, but it comes back to determination and drive and the love of what you do!

Communication: the thing humans forgot when we invented words.
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

It makes sense for the Elders to sit down with both sides and see whether leaders can come to an understanding.
Richard Branson
I believe a good leader brings out the best in people by listening to them, trusting in them, believing in them, respecting them and letting them have a go.
Richard Branson
Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don't let them drag you into the mud.
Richard Branson
Talent comes from experience and failure
Richard Branson
I've been in Africa, and I've been to hospitals of Africa, and they're not hospitals, they're places where people go to die. And rows and rows and rows of people just dying and the waiting rooms of the hospitals are full of people waiting to get into the beds of the people who died the night before, and they're dying from unnecessary diseases.
Richard Branson
I think that not relying too heavily on one bank and one bank manager is a good rule to learn.
Richard Branson
When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.
Richard Branson
Business is what concerns us. If you care about something enough to do something about it, you're in business
Richard Branson
Set impossible challenges. Then catch up with them.
Richard Branson
Records are made to be broken. It is in man's nature to continue to strive to do just that.
