Richard Branson

My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges, and trying to rise above them.

Richard Branson

My number one rule in business, and in life, is to enjoy what you do. Running a business involves long hours and hard decisions; if you don’t have the passion to keep you going, your business will more than likely fail. If you don’t enjoy what you are doing, then you shouldn’t be doing it.

Richard Branson

My parents brought me up with this philosophy. You must do things. You mustn’t watch what other people are doing. You must not listen to what other people are doing.

Richard Branson

My people are at the core of everything I do, and I recognize the importance of giving them the flexibility to balance work around their personal lives.

Richard Branson

My philosophy is that if I have any money I invest it in new ventures and not have it sitting around.

Richard Branson

Never go into business purely to make money. If that’s the motive you’re better off doing nothing.

Richard Branson

Once a changemaker, always a changemaker – but only a few swim against the tide.

Richard Branson

People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you’re a good entrepreneur, you’re not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You’ve got to try to succeed at more things than fail.

Richard Branson

Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty and don’t let them drag you into the mud.

Richard Branson

Please be polite. Nothing in life should erode the habit of saying thank you to people or praising them.
