Those are the words of Virgin Atlantic boss, Richard Branson while giving some advise to young and upcoming entrepreneurs recently. Below is the full piece culled from his blog:

At Virgin, we love to spark opportunities for young entrepreneurs around the world. 10 years ago we created our entrepreneurial foundation, Virgin Unite, and we went on to found the Branson Centres of Entrepreneurship in South Africa and the Caribbean.

On the back of this success we’ve set up an accelerator programme in the British Virgin Islands to help grow economies, improve lives and create sustainable businesses for these wonderful communities.

In the UK, three years ago we launched Virgin StartUp to promote entrepreneurship and give people access to funding, mentoring and advice. Since 2013, we have funded more than 1,100 entrepreneurs, distributing more than £10 million of loans and over 30,000 hours of mentoring.
