All of us have just got to find that time to look after our bodies. That helps us make sure that our mind is sharp. I know that when I'm feeling great and really fit, I can get in three or four hours more of really productive work.

More quotes by Richard Branson
It's far more difficult being a small-business owner starting a business than it is for me with thousands of people working for us and 400 companies. Building a business from scratch is 24 hours, 7 days a week, divorces, it's difficult to hold your family life together, it's bloody hard work and only one word really matters - and that's surviving.
Richard Branson
Only a fool never changes his mind.
Richard Branson
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
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
Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.
Richard Branson
I have had fun running all of the Virgin businesses, so I never see a setback as a bad experience it is just a learning curve.
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
Age isn't as important so long as you are surrounded by people you love, doing things you passionately believe in.
Richard Branson
As people's access to the internet grows we're seeing the sharing economy boom - I think our obsession with ownership is at a tipping point and the sharing economy is part of the antidote for that.
Richard Branson
Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don't let them drag you into the mud.
Richard Branson
With space travel, [it's] no different. You know, in 1990 I read the name Virgin Galactic Airways. Loved the name. And set out to try to find an engineer or rocket scientist in the world who could build a safe, reusable rocket that could take people to and from space and we could start a whole new era of commercial space travel.
Richard Branson
We all are now very aware of what a connected world we live in - connected to each other and to the earth that gives us everything we have. We need all countries and companies to step up and play their part - setting strong goals, having clear plans, and openly demonstrating progress.
Richard Branson
Two heads are definitely better than one and by sourcing ideas from each other, you have a better chance of coming up with a strategy that will allow your business to overcome a setback or challenge.
Richard Branson
And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.
Richard Branson
To me, business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.
Richard Branson
Listen. Take the best. Leave the rest.
Richard Branson
Enjoy life - you only get one.
Richard Branson
And from, you know, small ideas, bigger ideas emerge. So we're starting with suborbital space flights and we'll then go into orbital space flights and, you know, maybe one day we'll send people on a one-way voyage into the depths of space as per the science fiction trips.
Richard Branson
Every great movement in the world starts with a tiny group of people who simply refuse to accept a situation.
Richard Branson
Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity. Treat those around you with respect and dignity and they will thrive.
