When you're first thinking through an idea, it's important not to get bogged down in complexity. Thinking simply and clearly is hard to do.

Building a business is not rocket science, it's about having a great idea and seeing it through with integrity.

Money is only interesting for what it lets you do and create.

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.

All in all, the internet is a force for good, providing young entrepreneurs with access to an incredible wealth of information, has changed the way we see the world and is also a great source of innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities.

It is only by being bold that you get anywhere. If you are a risk-taker, then the art is to protect the downside.

There's no better satisfaction than watching the people around you, who have worked day and night to get something right, realising the dream.
