Realize that the people who are working with you, this is their life. You know, 80% of their time is spent at work. Make sure that they're proud of what they're doing, that they're enjoying what they're doing.

More quotes by Richard Branson
Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity. Treat those around you with respect and dignity and they will thrive.
Richard Branson
My people are at the core of everything I do, and I recognize the importance of giving them the flexibility to balance work around their personal lives.
Richard Branson
It is important to remember that life is not a dress rehearsal and that none of us should waste our time on doing things that don’t spark fires within us. My golden rule for business and life is: We should all enjoy what we do and do what we enjoy.
Richard Branson
I'd like to see the government back a programme of research into the medical properties of cannabis and I do not object to its responsible use as a recreational relaxant.
Richard Branson
There is no planet B. We have to take care of the one we have
Richard Branson
We have a business that some people feel pollutes, and I happen to agree with them. ... And so on the basis of trying to do good and, you know, hopefully turn a profit, what we did was we pledged that we'd put all the profits from our airline business into trying to develop clean fuels.
Richard Branson
I believe in myself. I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love.
Richard Branson
I have enjoyed life a lot more by saying yes than by sayings no.
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
Past failures unlock future successes
Richard Branson
Learning and leadership go together. Too much credit goes to me for what we have achieved at Virgin but the successes happen from working and learning with some of the world's most inspiring and inspired people.
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
Half the art of ballooning is to make your crashes so gentle that you can fool yourself into calling them landings.
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
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
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
There's no better satisfaction than watching the people around you, who have worked day and night to get something right, realising the dream.
Richard Branson
To succeed in business you need to be original, but you also need to understand what your customers want.
Richard Branson
An exceptional company is the one that gets all the little details right.
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.
