More quotes by Richard Branson
I think the most important thing is that in the last seven days we've just had the greatest adventure of our lifetimes. I'm inquisitive ... and I love a new challenge... and if I feel that we can do it better than it's been done by other people, we'll have a go.
Richard Branson
I know enough to know that no man is an island.
Richard Branson
So I've seen life as one long learning process.
Richard Branson
When you are making a decision about how best to serve your customers, your own experience is often a better guide than a more sophisticated analysis of the market.
Richard Branson
We've all got to do everything we can to avoid conflicts.
Richard Branson
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
Life is a helluva lot more fun if you say yes rather than no
Richard Branson
Leading by fear is a lot of companies' approach, and a horrible way for people to exist in their lives, when most of your life is spent at work.
Richard Branson
However small a company, its founders should try to expand people's opportunities and choices.
Richard Branson
Too many companies want their brands to reflect some idealised, perfected image of themselves. As a consequence, their brands acquire no texture, no character and no public trust.
Richard Branson
No matter where my travels take me, my day starts with a good work out, preferably kitesurfing or tennis. Exercise puts me in the right state of mind for the day. Dedicating time in the morning to exercise your body will make a big difference when you have to focus your mind on the day's work.
Richard Branson
Take the competition seriously, but not yourself.
Richard Branson
I personally don't believe anything is impossible. With enough determination and effort, almost everything is possible.
Richard Branson
Two bricklayers work side by side. The first lays bricks. The second builds magnificent cathedrals. Think small vs. think big.
Richard Branson
Coming up with the bucket list is the easy part, but ticking off the list is the challenge. I love a good challenge, which is why I strongly advise everyone to come up with a bucket list. It doesn't have to contain out of this world tasks. But once you have written down the list, screw it, just do it!
Richard Branson
Surprisingly, a large number of people who fell out with their partners contacted us, saying that they would love to fly on a Virgle spaceship. But out of April Fools' jokes come real things, and I wouldn't be surprised, within the next 50 years, [if] there are one-way trips heading out into space with people on it. It would be very exciting.
Richard Branson
I never went into business to make money, but I have found that if I have fun, the money will come.
Richard Branson
A business can be started with very little money.
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.
Richard Branson
To be a real entrepreneur you always have to be looking forward. The moment you rest on your laurels is the moment your competition overtakes you.
