As business icons go, Richard Branson is up there with the best of them. His work ethic, business savvy and general know how of the business world have rightly set him up as the successful tycoon we see today. As the founder of multi-million pound Virgin Group, he has his fingers in quite a few pies, but he is still a down to earth magnate with a fantastic ethos few can share. Today, the Virgin Group holds more than 400 companies in 30 countries around the world and is still expanding. Branson is a best-selling author and if you haven’t picked up his autobiography yet then you’re missing out! There are many things that Richard Branson is noted for – everything from his insights on employees and passion, to his wisdom on fun and capitalism.
Our favourite Richard Branson quote by far, is:
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”
The wisdom of an entrepreneurial genius, we take our hat off to you Mr Branson!
