Business has to give people enriching, rewarding lives...or it's simply not worth doing.

As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation. I have to be good at helping people run the individual businesses, and I have to be willing to step back. The company must be set up so it can continue without me.

I know enough to know that no man is an island.

Branding is everything. A young girl once came up to me and told me I could be famous because I looked just like Richard Branson!

Sometimes the riskiest decision you can make is to do nothing.

Dream big and you will be presented with the opportunity to lead the world on an incredible adventure.

The quality of business communications has become poorer in recent years as people avoid phone calls and face-to-face meetings, I can only assume, in some misguided quest for efficiency.
