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
Image
The key is to set realistic customer expectations, and then not to just meet them, but to exceed them - preferably in unexpected and helpful ways.
Richard Branson
Image
I've been in Africa, and I've been to hospitals of Africa, and they're not hospitals, they're places where people go to die. And rows and rows and rows of people just dying and the waiting rooms of the hospitals are full of people waiting to get into the beds of the people who died the night before, and they're dying from unnecessary diseases.

I make up my mind about whether I can trust someone within 60 seconds of meeting them

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.

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
Image
Many assume my business success has brought me happiness. But the way I see it, I am successful because I am happy.

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
Image
Always think, 'what's the worst that can happen' and have some kind of strategy to deal with it
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.
