Education doesn't just take place in stuffy classrooms and university buildings, it can happen everywhere, every day to every person.
Richard Branson
Give your employees a mission that matches their ambitions. When you challenge people, they surprise you.
Richard Branson
Coming up with the bucket list is the easy part, but ticking off the list is the challenge. I love a good challenge, which is why I strongly advise everyone to come up with a bucket list. It doesn't have to contain out of this world tasks. But once you have written down the list, screw it, just do it!
Richard Branson
The years I would have spent at University, I spent building Student Magazine and Virgin Records. For me that was far more fun and satisfying. I have treated everyday as the University education I never had and think I learnt more about business and life than I would have at University in the process.

Richard Branson
With all my employees, I listen to them, trust in them, believe in them, respect them and let them have a go! I never believe I know better than they do and have been fortunate over the years to build up a very strong management team whom I can trust and take advice from.
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
The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
Richard Branson
Red tape will often get in your way. It's one of the reasons I often carry scissors!
Richard Branson
People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.
Richard Branson
If you want milk, don't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in the hope that a cow will back up to you.
Richard Branson
Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality.
Richard Branson
You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.
Richard Branson
