I’ve had great fun turning quite a lot of different industries on their head and making sure those industries will never be the same again, because Virgin went in and took them on.

I’ve had many challenges – every entrepreneur does – it’s the nature of the beast.

I’ve never sued anybody, though there have been one or two occasions I’ve wanted to strangle one or two people.

If I’m setting up a new business I’ll spend three or four months learning everything there is about that business, everything there is about that subject and then I will find good people to run it on a day-to-day basis, but whilst they’re running it at least I know what they’re talking about when they come back to me.

If something cant be explained on the back of an envelope, its rubbish.

If you are a new startup company, try not to arouse the interest or suspicion of your competition; especially if they are a bigger company. They can crush you while you are still in your startup phase. Lie low while still strengthening your bottom line.

If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.

If you are glass half empty type of person maybe you just haven’t been holding the right glass.

Richard Branson

If you are seizing on a new business opportunity, deliberately move your customers’ expectations up a few notches and consistently over-deliver on your promises – you will leave your competitors struggling to catch up.

If you aren’t having fun, you are doing it wrong. If you feel like getting up in the morning to work on your business is a chore, then it’s time to try something else.
