I believe in goals. It's never a bad thing to have a dream. If something is really what you want to do, just do it. Whatever your goal.

If you don't have time for the small things, you won't have time for the big things

I will work day and night to avoid failure, but if I can't, I'll pick myself up the next day. The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure.

Can you afford to ignore China? It's like saying you can afford to ignore the internet. I don't think so.

Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain.

I just think you need to spice up life every now and then with a bit of adventure and excitement.

An entrepreneur is somebody who is taking bold risks, is often doing things that have never been done before, trying to do things better. And an adventurer is challenging themselves, often doing things that have never been done before, seeing what they're capable of. In both cases, you've got to protect against the downside.
