I believe that drudgery and clock-watching are a terrible betrayal of that universal, inborn entrepreneurial spirit.

Two heads are definitely better than one and by sourcing ideas from each other, you have a better chance of coming up with a strategy that will allow your business to overcome a setback or challenge.

We, we - as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.

I may be a businessman in that I set up and run companies for profit, but when I try to plan ahead and dream up new products and new companies, I'm an idealist.

Too many companies want their brands to reflect some idealised, perfected image of themselves. As a consequence, their brands acquire no texture, no character and no public trust.

If family or friends are unwell or ill - it's perhaps the only thing that really can make one feel vulnerable.
