More quotes by Richard Branson
I'm not the sort of person who fears failure.
Richard Branson
It isn't effective or productive to force your employees to do anything. Choice empowers people and makes for a more content workforce.
Richard Branson
If you don't have time for the small things, you won't have time for the big things
Richard Branson
Luck is when determination meets opportunity
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
Business leaders take things far too seriously, and forget that most of the time people spend in their lives is at work, and it should be fun.
Richard Branson
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.
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.
Richard Branson
If family or friends are unwell or ill - it's perhaps the only thing that really can make one feel vulnerable.
Richard Branson
Business is the force of change. Business is essential to solving the climate crisis, because this is what business is best at: innovating, changing, addressing risks, searching for opportunities. There is no more vital task
Richard Branson
As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.
Richard Branson
I am always working on the go.
Richard Branson
Everything in your business can be outsourced... if you're not emotionally attached to doing it all.
Richard Branson
Focus on your business strengths and keep its weaknesses away from the competition or public.
Richard Branson
The extraordinary thing about the record industry is how success can take off without warning.
Richard Branson
Explore this next great frontier where the boundaries between work and higher purpose are merging into one, where doing good really is good for business.
Richard Branson
Don't think about making money, think about making a difference, spot where others are doing it badly and do it better
Richard Branson
I am impressed with just the enthusiasm for life and the fact that some of these people are in their 80's, even 90's, and they're absolutely determined to get out there and make a difference.
Richard Branson
Entrepreneursh ip is a great leveller, since having the benefit of a wealthy background or a generous investor isn't always an advantage. The wonderful thing is that money is not the sole currency when it comes to starting a business drive, determination, passion and hard work are all free and more valuable than a pot of cash.
Richard Branson
LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn't a success, welcome to the club.
Richard Branson
