Richard Branson Quotes

I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Before success comes in any man's life, he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That's exactly what the majority of men do.

Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.

I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance... Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up.

For me giving up is way harder than trying.

It takes a special kind of stubbornness to succeed as an entrepreneur

Work hard, believe in your dreams, follow your dreams, don't give up, don't let failures hold you back. Those things were preached to me. They've taken a firm rooting system in my beliefs and what I'm passing on to my kids.

As an entrepreneur, you can always find a solution if you try hard enough.

Most failures could have been converted into successes if someone had held on another minute or made more effort.

Giving up is the greatest failure.

You know, sometimes people never get to learn how successful they could have been because they give up too easily. If I've learned one thing in all my years in the business, it's that often things don't work out the way you want at first. But that doesn't mean you should give up.

He believes that "To persevere is favorable."

I want to find people who have had to work hard and who have learned from their failures. Perseverance is no guarantee you’ll succeed, but without it, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t.

Working inspires inspiration. Keep working. If you succeed, keep working. If you fail, keep working. If you are interested, keep working. If you are bored, keep working.

90% of all those who fail are not actually defeated. They simply quit.

Take risks. Fail. Pick yourself back up again. And always, always remember this: there is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made.

In the end, it's all about perseverance.

Most people in life, give up too early.
