More quotes by Richard Branson
If you don't have time for the small things, you won't have time for the big things
Richard Branson
I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.
Richard Branson
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.
Richard Branson
I was born under a lucky star, and I have nothing whatsoever to regret. I wouldn't change a thing about my life.
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
In business, as in life, all that matters is that you do something positive.
Richard Branson
And [we hope to sell] the clean fuels to other airlines. I mean, the exciting thing about the breakthrough with clean fuels for the airline industry is there's only 1,700 pumps in the world that fill up the airlines.
Richard Branson
Enjoy life - you only get one.
Richard Branson
Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain.
Richard Branson
I never wanted to be a businessman, I just wanted to change the world
Richard Branson
Communication: the thing humans forgot when we invented words.
Richard Branson
Clearly in the eyes of the consumer the brand has not been diluted, but we must guard against that happening at all costs.
Richard Branson
If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!
Richard Branson
It always pays off to focus on things that will make you feel proud. Remember this during every difficult decision you face.
Richard Branson
Doing good is good for business.
Richard Branson
I have learnt more from my failures than my successes.
Richard Branson
If you follow your dreams and spend your life doing what brings you joy, you are more likely to find success
Richard Branson
If you're looking to become an entrepreneur then don't waste your time going to university or business school - just get on and do it.
Richard Branson
Government and business must come together on the interlinked issues of conservation, economic development and renewable energy. There are literally thousands of businesses, many in the tourism industry, that depend on an intact marine environment for their long-term survival.
Richard Branson
Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance.
