Sometimes the riskiest decision you can make is to do nothing.
Richard Branson

I am always working on the go.
Richard Branson
Image
So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.
Richard Branson

Every risk is worth taking as long as it's for a good cause, and contributes to a good life.

Having a personality of caring about people is important. You can’t be a good leader unless you generally like people. That is how you bring out the best in them.
Richard Branson
Image
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
Image
And if after all this you eventually fail don't take it personal. Don't be ashamed to start all over again.
Richard Branson
Image
[If] man creates the problem, surely man can solve it.
Richard Branson
Image
And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.

Being an entrepreneur simply means being someone who wants to make a difference to other people's lives.
Richard Branson
Image
THE KEY TO GENERATING LOYALTY AND RISING ABOVE THE GENERAL NOISE SEEMS TO BE ALL ABOUT CREATING AN AUTHENTIC VOICE.
Richard Branson
Image
Entrepreneurial business favours the open mind. It favours people whose optimism drives them to prepare for many possible futures, pretty much purely for the joy of doing so.
Richard Branson
Image
I was born under a lucky star, and I have nothing whatsoever to regret. I wouldn't change a thing about my life.

We're introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night's sleep...
