I just wanted to create things that I could be proud of. Money was just an evil byproduct to pay the bills at the end of the year.

All successful people - not just entrepreneurs - have got things wrong over and over again before finding the right solution.

To succeed in business you need to be original, but you also need to understand what your customers want.

Look, I think that when we started Virgin Atlantic 30 years ago, we had one 747 competing with the airlines that had an average of 300 planes each. Every single one of those have gone bankrupt because they didn't have customer service. They had might, but they didn't have customer service, so customer service is everything in the end.

I know enough to know that no man is an island.

I believe in goals. It's never a bad thing to have a dream. If something is really what you want to do, just do it. Whatever your goal.

Most entrepreneurs will admit luck plays a part in success.
