Richard Branson reveals life lessons in Reddit Q&A

In a recent edition of Reddit’s famous “Ask Me Anything”, Virgin Founder Richard Branson revealed some pearls of business wisdom to eager users.

He also gave people an insight into his personal life and laid out his life mantra.

One user, ArthurBoreman, asked the business guru: “When evaluating a new business opportunity, what are your "rules of thumb" (so to speak)?”

Branson replied that his main ally here was determination, commenting: “I always say ‘What is a business? Simply somebody coming up with an idea to make life better for other people.’ If you have such an idea, give it a go. If you fall flat on your face, pick yourself up and try to succeed.”
