A generation ago, the image was that you had to trample everyone else down to succeed; but I don't believe that makes good business sense.

Success comes from delegating, risk-taking and having a good TEAM!

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

I doubt that I would have been successful in my career and happy in my personal life if I hadn't prioritized health and fitness. Staying active ensures mental preparedness and the courage to try new things. It helped me to stay focused on work but also to have fun and try new approaches and explore new places. That's the spirit behind Virgin Sport - we wanted to introduce fitness activities that are enjoyable, accessible and part of your overall lifestyle.

You can create a business, choose a name, but unless people know about it you're not going to sell any products.

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.

Never go into business purely to make money. If that's the motive you're better off doing nothing.
