RICHARD BRANSON

Screw it, let's do it. That has been my business philosophy for 50 years and it has worked out more often than not.

I have started over 400 companies. Most of them failed. But I only needed a handful of winners to become a billionaire.

I went to space before Bezos. Nine days before. Not that anyone is counting.

I am dyslexic. School was a nightmare. But dyslexia taught me to think differently, delegate details, and focus on the big picture.

If you start a business just to make money, you will probably fail. Start it because you are angry that something is bad and you know you can make it better.

The Virgin brand works because it stands for one thing: the customer deserves better than what they are getting. That applies to airlines, phones, and space travel.
