Richard Branson Quotes

Branding is everything. A young girl once came up to me and told me I could be famous because I looked just like Richard Branson! Picture Quote #1

I love stirring the pot. I love giving big companies a run for their money - especially if they’re offering expensive, poor-quality products Picture Quote #1

Always think, ‘what’s the worst that can happen’ and have some kind of strategy to deal with it Picture Quote #1

Good people have always been at the heart of the Virgin business, and that’s largely because we have tried to keep our business small, and our management teams tight-knit. I feel that small, compact companies, are better run. That is partly because people feel more connected in small companies Picture Quote #1

Entrepreneursh ip is a great leveller, since having the benefit of a wealthy background or a generous investor isn’t always an advantage. The wonderful thing is that money is not the sole currency when it comes to starting a business; drive, determination, passion and hard work are all free and more valuable than a pot of cash Picture Quote #1

I make up my mind about whether I can trust someone within 60 seconds of meeting them Picture Quote #1

LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn’t a success, welcome to the club Picture Quote #1

We’ll go into orbit. We’ll go to the Moon. This business has no limits Picture Quote #1

We will eventually build space science labs and hotels, prodding the capability for missions beyond the orbit of the Earth. Our space-hotel guests will be able to take breath-taking excursions, flying a couple of hundred feet above the Moon’s surface in small two-man spaceships. In time, we will launch missions to Mars and beyond Picture Quote #1

Happiness is the secret ingredient for successful businesses. If you have a happy company it will be invincible Picture Quote #1

If you don’t succeed at first, there’s no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again Picture Quote #1

When I was young, every time I criticized someone, my mother would stand me in front of the mirror and say: ‘The flaws you see in others are actually a reflection of yourself.’ That taught me to pay close attention when I looked at others Picture Quote #1

You must have the courage to trust your instincts and be ready to question what other people don’t. If you do that, you can seize opportunities that others would miss. Believe in yourself, and use everything you can - including the obstacles - to propel you along the road to success. Who knows what you might achieve? Picture Quote #1

We should focus on what people get done, not on how many hours or days worked. Just as we don’t have a nine-to-five policy, we don’t need a vacation policy Picture Quote #1

I will work day and night to avoid failure, but if I can’t, I’ll pick myself up the next day. The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure Picture Quote #1

People are no different from flowers. If you water them, they flourish. If you are not nice to them, they shrivel up Picture Quote #1

Early on in your career, find someone better than yourself to run the business on a day-to-day basis. Remove yourself, maybe even from the building, and from the nitty-gritty. That way, you’re going to be able to see the bigger picture and think of new areas to go into Picture Quote #1

You can’t run a business without taking risks. The brave may not live forever - but the cautious do not live at all! Picture Quote #1

It took me years to work out the difference between net and gross. In meetings I just used to say, ‘Tell me if it’s good or bad news Picture Quote #1

Space is hard - but worth it. We will persevere and move forward together Picture Quote #1

Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect moment - they create it Picture Quote #1

Government and business must come together on the interlinked issues of conservation, economic development and renewable energy. There are literally thousands of businesses, many in the tourism industry, that depend on an intact marine environment for their long-term survival Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think great businessmen are more likely made than born. I don’t know if it’s from your upbringing, your parental background, the struggles you go through. In my own particular situation, I left school at 15 and I was struggling to survive in the jungle and that was a great education. So I think just getting out there, hands on, learning to survive teaches you a lot Picture Quote #1

Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur. Doing things differently and solving problems with new, innovative and fresh approaches are the very reason many start-ups are able to compete and sometimes outpace the established market leaders Picture Quote #1

There are millions of people out there who would love to become astronauts, who’d love to go to space - they’d love to look back at this wonderful world from space. That will be the engine that will enable us then to develop spaceships to transport people around the world at tremendous speeds in an environmentally friendly way Picture Quote #1

Having a good network can be invaluable. It opens doors for you and allows you to enter into opportunities that are beneficial to your business. In this sense, ‘who you know’ is undoubtedly important, but to me ‘what you know’ is more important because once an opportunity shows itself, it is up to you to make the most of it, and this is down to your knowledge and skill Picture Quote #1

Happiness doesn’t come from making a fortune and owning lots of possessions. ‘Stuff’ doesn’t bring happiness. Family, friends, good health and the satisfaction that comes from making a positive difference are what really matter Picture Quote #1

I am a great believer that you need passion and energy to create a truly successful business. Remember many new businesses do not make it and running a business will be a tough experience, involving long hours and many hard decisions - it helps to have that passion to keep you going Picture Quote #1
