More quotes by Richard Branson
I was trouble - and always in trouble. Aged eight I still couldn't read. In fact, I was dyslexic and short-sighted. Despite sitting at the front of the class, I couldn't read the blackboard. Only after a couple of terms did anyone think to have my eyes tested. Even when I could see, the letters and numbers made no sense at all.

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!

Half the art of ballooning is to make your crashes so gentle that you can fool yourself into calling them landings.
Richard Branson
Just watching Israel bombarding Palestine and Palestine sending one or two little rockets over to Israel - it's just too sad for words.
Richard Branson

To succeed in business you need to be original, but you also need to understand what your customers want.
Richard Branson
Well, we know that people in Australia love the idea of both Impulse and Virgin Blue getting up and adding a bit of competition, and it's fun to be able to deliver it.
Richard Branson
I never learned the rules in the first place. To change the game is at the heart of what Virgin stands for, so the company culture has always been: Don't sweat it: rules were meant to be broken.
Richard Branson
I have always believed that the only way to cope with a cash crisis is not to contract but to try to expand out of it.
Richard Branson
Give your employees a mission that matches their ambitions. When you challenge people, they surprise you.
Richard Branson
THE KEY TO GENERATING LOYALTY AND RISING ABOVE THE GENERAL NOISE SEEMS TO BE ALL ABOUT CREATING AN AUTHENTIC VOICE.
Richard Branson
Look, I think that when we started Virgin Atlantic 30 years ago, we had one 747 competing with the airlines that had an average of 300 planes each. Every single one of those have gone bankrupt because they didn't have customer service. They had might, but they didn't have customer service, so customer service is everything in the end.
Richard Branson
Engage your emotions at work. Your instincts and emotions are there to help you.
Richard Branson
I never really felt secure until I was well into my 30s, because anytime I had success, I would invest in new projects.
Richard Branson
The quality of business communications has become poorer in recent years as people avoid phone calls and face-to-face meetings, I can only assume, in some misguided quest for efficiency.
Richard Branson
Smoking marijuana, as long as you leave the nicotine out of it, is certainly no more damaging than having a drink, and I suspect better for you than having a drink.
Richard Branson
I felt uneasy about making the rapid decisions I have always made, and wondered whether every decision should be formally ratified and minuted at a board meeting.
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
Happiness is the secret ingredient for successful businesses. If you have a happy company it will be invincible.
Richard Branson
At the end, entrepreneurship is not about wearing expensive suits and earning a lot of money. It is all about being true to yourself, to your values in life. Your dreams.
Richard Branson
