Richard Branson
There are quite a few things I've done that even I thought might have been one step too far. But if you are willing to make a fool of yourself and make people smile, as long as you do it with a sense of fun, you can get away with it.
Richard Branson
You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.
Richard Branson
The quickest way to become a millionaire in the airline business is to start out as a billionaire.
Richard Branson
The first thing to look for when searching for a great employee is somebody with a personality that fits with your company culture. Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality.
Richard Branson
Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.
Richard Branson
Money is for making things happen.
