LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn't a success, welcome to the club.

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

Life is a helluva lot more fun if you say yes rather than no

Fun is one of the most important - and underrated - ingredients in any successful venture. If you're not having fun, then it's probably time to call it quits and try something else.

You've got one go in life, so make the most of it.

Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision and change. A company that stands still will soon be forgotten. Trying to provoke positive change is a principle we've embedded across the Virgin family for more than four decades.

Learning and leadership go together. Too much credit goes to me for what we have achieved at Virgin but the successes happen from working and learning with some of the world's most inspiring and inspired people.
