I want Virgin to be as well-known around the world as Coca-Cola.

Kitesurfing is one of the greatest sports in the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who has access to the ocean. There is nothing more freeing than being out there and kitesurfing. When my schedule permits, it's the first thing I do in the morning, before I have breakfast. Tennis is also fun, especially against someone far better at the sport than I am.

Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. A fulfilling career is waiting for those brave enough to find it.

Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.

One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea.

I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.
