More quotes by Richard Branson
I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's Tubular Bells [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.
Richard Branson
Although my spelling is still sometimes poor, I have managed to overcome the worst of my difficulties through training myself to concentrate.
Richard Branson
The brand is only as good as your products, so.. if people have a good experience on Virgin Atlantic or if they have a good experience on Virgin trains or.. if they have a Virgin mobile phone and they can get straight through to our people and they're well looked after and then they'll try the next product that we launch.
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
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
My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself
Richard Branson
Life is a helluva lot more fun if you say yes rather than no
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
You've got one go in life, so make the most of it.
Richard Branson
To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running, and if you have a good team around you and more than a fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can't guarantee it just by following someone else's formula.
Richard Branson
One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea.
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
Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.
Richard Branson
You know I think if the people who work for a business are proud of the business they work for, they'll work that much harder, and therefore, I think turning your business into a real force for good is good business sense as well.
Richard Branson
Learn to live on the edge.
Richard Branson
Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur.
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
Sometimes miracles come in pairs.
Richard Branson
I definitely go on gut instinct but it has always had the back up of research and information.
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.
