“You get the idea. Every business, like a painting, operates according to its own rules. There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again.

You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over. It's the greatest thrill in the world and it runs away screaming at the first sight of bullet points.”
― Richard Branson, Business Stripped Bare
