Richard Branson Quotes:
"The
music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible
assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves, and at a given stage
in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit
records."
- On the Music Industry
"I
wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn't really interested in
being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur
in order to keep my magazine going."

"I
never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on
gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the mickey
out of the consumer."

"A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts."

"Ridiculous
yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy
life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work
for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa
– and it’s about getting a balance."
- On Money
"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."
- On Motivation
"I
have always lived my life by thriving on opportunity and adventure.
Some of the best ideas come out of the blue, and you have to keep an
open mind to see their virtue."
- On Ideas
"Fantasizing about the future is one of my favourite pastimes."
