Richard Branson is one of the world’s most high profile entrepreneurs. Having founded Virgin Records, Virgin Mobile, Virgin Airways, and much more, the billionaire business man has tons of valuable quotes to help us — we picked the top 10. Below are 10 must read quotes from Richard Branson for Dreamforce Attendees.
- “You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.”
- “And obviously, from our own personal point of view, the principal challenge is a personal challenge.”
- “As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.”
- “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.”
- “My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long university education that I never had – every day I’m learning something new.”
- “To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running, and if you have a good team around you and more than a fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can’t guarantee it just by following someone else’s formula.”
- “Above all, you want to create something you are proud of. That’s always been my philosophy of business. 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.”
- “Having a personality of caring about people is important. You can’t be a good leader unless you generally like people. That is how you bring out the best in them.”
- “Records are made to be broken. It is in man’s nature to continue to strive to do just that.”
- “I don’t think of work as work and play as play. It’s all living.”

Great quotes! Adding one of my favorites by him to the list:
“As soon as something stops being fun, I think it’s time to move on. Life is too short to be unhappy. Waking up stressed and miserable is not a good way to live.”
