Richard Branson är en av våra stora entreprenörsidoler, och det sägs att han just nu sportar runt 400 bolag. Inte illa! Här har vi samlat Richard Bransons viktigaste citat om framgång. Njut!

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

”A touch of the jitters sharpens the mind, gets the adrenaline flowing and helps you to focus.”

”Above all, you want to create something you’re proud of. This has 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 not doing it.”

”Acquiring the habit of note-taking is therefore a wonderfully complementary skill to that of listening.”

”All ideas are second-hand, consciously or unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources, and daily used by the garnerer with a pride and satisfaction born of the superstition that he originated them.”

”Although my spelling is still sometimes poor, I have managed to overcome the worst of my difficulties through training myself to concentrate.”

”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.”

”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.”

”Balloons have taught me to reflect more. On earth, my life is fast and hectic, each moment full. It can be too busy. We all need our own space and it’s good to pause and do nothing. It gives us time to think. It recharges our bodies as well as our minds. I often think of the fishermen I watched that Christmas in Japan. It’s in our nature to strive – so I wondered what they looked for in life? They seemed content fishing and feeding their families. They didn’t seem driven to set up fish-canning empires. As far as I knew, they didn’t want to cross the Pacific in a balloon or climb Mount Everest. They took each day as it came. They lived in the moment, and perhaps this is what gave them peace of mind.”

”Business opportunities are like buses; there’s always another one coming.”

”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 back into society, not just sit on it as if they are hatching eggs.”

”Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

”Cover the downside.”

”Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.”
