Richard Branson: What is a Business?

RIchard Branson’s answer to the question, what is a business?

A business is simply an idea to make other people’s lives better.

Love that

It doesn’t have to be complicated. If you can figure out a way to make people’s lives better somehow, you can usually make a good living doing it.

More words from Branson about building a business

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. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it’s because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over.
