Having no regrets makes way for the best piece of advice I can give - don't be afraid of failure.

You can't do a good business with a bad person. Find the right people to work with and you can't go wrong.

The best advice I got from my dad? Wear a condom.

If I'm setting up a new business I'll spend three or four months learning everything there is about that business, everything there is about that subject and then I will find good people to run it on a day-to-day basis, but whilst they're running it at least I know what they're talking about when they come back to me.

Having a good network can be invaluable. It opens doors for you and allows you to enter into opportunities that are beneficial to your business. In this sense, 'who you know' is undoubtedly important, but to me 'what you know' is more important because once an opportunity shows itself, it is up to you to make the most of it, and this is down to your knowledge and skill.

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

If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
