More quotes by Richard Branson
Failing can provide invaluable lessons and making mistakes and experiencing setbacks is part of the DNA of every successful entrepreneur.
Richard Branson
Good customer service begins at the top. If your senior people don't get it, even the strongest links further down the line can become compromised.
Richard Branson
Life is a helluva lot more fun if you say yes rather than no
Richard Branson
Our model is to develop each business separately with its own shareholder and management - this way we can concentrate on the job in hand, rather than be part of some enormous and faceless conglomerate.
Richard Branson
I just like to enjoy life and push myself. Of course, there is method to my madness. When you are entering into a new industry, for example, it helps to do something to get your name on the front pages.
Richard Branson
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.
Richard Branson
Brands always mean something. If you don't define what the brand means, your competitors will
Richard Branson
I cannot remember a moment in my life when I have not felt the love of my family. We were a family that would have killed for each other - and we still are.
Richard Branson
We all know about the big world conflicts: Israel and Palestine, Zimbabwe, and so on. But there are smaller conflicts that aren't even on the world's radar screen most of the world has no idea that Ethiopia invaded Somalia a year ago. It makes sense for the Elders to sit down with both sides and see whether leaders can come to an understanding.
Richard Branson
I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.
Richard Branson
Always think, 'what's the worst that can happen' and have some kind of strategy to deal with it
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
I think entrepreneurship is our natural state--a big adult word that probably boils down to something much more obvious like playfulness.
Richard Branson
Whatever business you are in, every company can shoot for the start in their own way.
Richard Branson
Please be polite. Nothing in life should erode the habit of saying thank you to people or praising them.
Richard Branson
People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.
Richard Branson
Unless you dream, nothing will happen. If you dream, you might be able to make your dreams come true.
Richard Branson
Money is a poor indicator of success.
Richard Branson
After all - life is not a dress rehearsal!
Richard Branson
I am impressed with just the enthusiasm for life and the fact that some of these people are in their 80's, even 90's, and they're absolutely determined to get out there and make a difference.
Richard Branson
