It’s a great article where Mark Harrison gives his analysis on 10 quotes from Richard Branson. After reading pretty much all of Richard Bransons books this post caught my eye and it was too good not to share.

I’ve included the quotes but below but encourage you to visit the link at the bottom of the post and have a read of the post over on Dumb Little Man.

Richard Branson clearly knows a thing or two about success… the Virgin brand boasts dozens of companies and Branson’s net worth is estimated to be more than 3 billion pounds sterling…often witty, always insightful, here are some choice Branson quotes to ponder.

“I enjoy every single minute of my life.”

“But the majority of things that one could get stressed about, they’re not worth getting stressed about.”

“You can’t be a good leader unless you generally like people. That is how you bring out the best in them.”

“I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive, then I believe you are better off doing nothing.”

“I made and learned from lots of mistakes.”

“If you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you’re just working.”

I’ve posted the quote below but I suggest you visit the post on their site too as they have a great community of people that add loads of comments to every post they put live. Enjoy!

Below is an excerpt from a great article from lifedev.net…

1. Give people what they want
“I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars, they criticize me for it yet they all yell holla.”

2. Take risks
“The Martha Stewart that’s far from Jewish, far from a Harvard student, just had the balls to do it.”

3. Don’t give up
“Put me anywhere on God’s green earth, I’ll triple my worth.”

4. Take care of the people around you
“I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.”

5. Watch your mouth
“A wise man once told me don’t argue with fools, because people from a distance cant tell who is who.”

6. Make your own destiny
“…The more space I get the better I write, (Oh) Never I write, but, if, ever I write, I need the space to say whatever I like.”
