Image
I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's Tubular Bells [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.

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
Image
Entrepreneurial business favours the open mind. It favours people whose optimism drives them to prepare for many possible futures, pretty much purely for the joy of doing so.

To succeed in business you need to be original, but you also need to understand what your customers want.

I've been lucky to have survived balloon trips, boating trips, you know, a lot of rather foolish things in my life, so I was definitely born under a lucky star.

Protect your reputation. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Richard Branson

Your brand or your name is simply your reputation, you have to fight in life to protect that as it means everything. Nothing is more important.
Richard Branson
Image
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
Image
When you are making a decision about how best to serve your customers, your own experience is often a better guide than a more sophisticated analysis of the market.
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.

You need lucky breaks to be successful.

I have learnt so much over my 40 years of business which would have been valuable to me when I was younger.

Listen. Take the best. Leave the rest.
Richard Branson
Image
I never went into business just to make money - but I found that if I have fun, the money will come. I often ask myself, is my work fun and does it make me happy? I believe that the answer to that is more important than fame or fortune. If it stops being fun, I ask why? If I can't fix it, I stop doing it.

Good brands reflect the histories of the time and the group of people that made them. They can not be copied. They can not be recycled.

I just love every minute of my life. I love the variety. Every minute of every day I'm meeting fascinating new people, learning and working with wonderful teams of people creating wonderful things.

My philosophy in life is that you only live once. Live life to its fullest.
