Starting a business can be difficult and daunting. Having launched hundreds of companies, in countries all over the globe, I have a fair amount of experience in this space. After four decades I still don’t know everything, nor do I think there is only one way to do things, however I have some pointers to help you on your journey. Here are my top tips on how to start a business…

1) Be curious
To be an entrepreneur means to be curious and interested in every aspect of life. If you throw yourself into life, you will quickly make observations about what is missing from the world, or what needs improving. Insatiable curiosity is one of the most important qualities an entrepreneur can possess.
2) Find your idea
Most of the best ideas come out of personal frustrations. It was through frustration that we founded Virgin Atlantic. The job of an entrepreneur is to see opportunities where others see obstacles. Hone in on the challenges, turn them into opportunities, find solutions, and bridge the gap. There are so many industries, categories and sectors out there that are ripe for disruption, just waiting for the right idea to revolutionise them.
3) Be passionate
There is a very thin dividing line between success and failure when starting out in business and you will fall on the wrong side of this line if you don’t have passion.

Most people ought to be able to become entrepreneurs and start businesses if they are passionate about something.
