RICHARD BRANSON QUOTES
1 – If you want to be more productive, then start at the start: get there on time. Whether it is a meeting, a flight, an appointment or a date, it’s important to ensure you are there when you say you will be there. This may feel like an old-fashioned tip to give, but it has served me well for five decades in business. Richard Branson
2 – Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop. Richard Branson

4 – You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over. Richard Branson
5 – Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again. Richard Branson
6 – In this digital age, it doesn’t really matter if you are in Canary Wharf or the Caribbean; there are opportunities waiting to be grasped by entrepreneurs. Richard Branson

9 – To launch a business means successfully solving problems. Solving problems means listening. Richard Branson

11 – Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Richard Branson
12 – Whatever your goal is, you will never succeed unless you let go of your fears and fly. Richard Branson
13 – Hard-won things are more valuable than those that come too easily.
14 – Fun is one of the most important – and underrated – ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.
15 – Being a good listener is absolutely critical to being a good leader; you have to listen to the people who are on the front line.
16 – There’s no point in starting a business unless you’re going to make a dramatic difference to other people’s lives. So if you’ve got an idea that’s gonna make a big difference to other people’s lives, then just get on and do it.
17- Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.
18 – My definition of success? The more you’re actively and practically engaged, the more successful you will be.
19 – My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long university education that I never had–every day I’m learning something new.
20 – On one of my last days at school, the headmaster said I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. That was quite a startling prediction, but in some respects, he was right on both counts!
RICHARD BRANSON QUOTES
21 – As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation. I have to be good at helping people run the individual businesses, and I have to be willing to step back. The company must be set up so it can continue without me.
22 – As soon as something stops being fun, I think it’s time to move on. Life is too short to be unhappy. Waking up stressed and miserable is not a good way to live.
23 – Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with. In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are. Richard Branson
24 – Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. Richard Branson
25 – Capitalism – which in its purest form is entrepreneurism even among the poorest of the poor – does work; but those who make money from it should put it back into society, not just sit on it as if they are hatching eggs. Richard Branson
26 – My attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you’re moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again. Richard Branson
27- Entrepreneurship is about turning what excites you in life into capital, so that you can do more of it and move forward with it. Richard Branson
28 – Above all, you want to create something you are proud of. That’s always been my philosophy of business. I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive, then I believe you are better off doing nothing. Richard Branson
29 – Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress. Richard Branson
30 – There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work than follow your passions – in a way that serves the world and you. Richard Branson
RICHARD BRANSON QUOTES
31 – All you have in business is your reputation – so it’s very important that you keep your word. Richard Branson

33 – If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later! Richard Branson

42 – From a young age, I learned to focus on the things I was good at and delegate to others what I was not good at. That’s how Virgin is run. Fantastic people throughout the Virgin Group run our businesses, allowing me to think creatively and strategically. Richard Branson
43 – My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’ Richard Branson
44 – You never know with these things when you’re trying something new what can happen. This is all experimental. Richard Branson
45 – Every successful businessman will have experienced setbacks and failures – they’re lying if they say they haven’t. Virgin has had some tremendously successful businesses and some that have not quite worked out. Virgin Cola springs to mind – the product wasn’t distinct enough from Coca-Cola. Richard Branson
46 – Material things are delightful, but they’re not important. Richard Branson
47- From my very first day as an entrepreneur, I’ve felt the only mission worth pursuing in business is to make people’s lives better. Richard Branson
