Richard Bransons framgångstips

Sista delen av fyra med Richard Bransons mest minnesvärda citat. Detta är måsteläsning för dig som vill lära av en av världens främsta entreprenörer.

”Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.”

”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 its about getting a balance.”

”Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.”

”Screw it. Let’s do it.”

”The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.”

”The best motto to follow is ”Nothing ventured; nothing gained”.”

”The brave may not live forever – But the cautious do not live at all.”

”There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it’s because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over.”

”There have been times when I could have succumbed to some form of bribe, or could have had my way by offering one. But ever since that night in Dover prison I have never been tempted to break my vow.. My Parents always drummed into me that all you have life is your reputation: you may be very rich, but if you lose your good name you’ll never be happy.”

”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.”

”They encouraged me to always look for the good in people instead of assuming the worst and trying to find fault.”

”Throughout my business life I have always tried to keep on top of costs and protect the downside risk as much possible. The Virgin Group has survived only because we have always kept tight control of our cash. But, likewise, I also know that sometimes it is essential to break these rules and spend lavishly.”

”Throwing yourself into a job you enjoy is one of the life’s greatest pleasures!”

”To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running”

”Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.”

”We’d love to be involved with the creation of something very special, something quite large and something quite exciting.”

”What we are trying to do at Virgin is not to have one enormous company in one sector under one banner, but to have two hundred or even three hundred separate companies. Each company can stand on its own feet and, in that way, although we’ve got a brand that links them, if we were to have another tragedy such as that of 11 September – which hurt the airline industry – it would not bring the whole group crashing down.”

”You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.”

”You never know with these things when you’re trying something new what can happen.

This is all experimental.”
