Favorite quote:Ā ā€œI can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive then I believe you are better off not doing it. A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts.ā€Ā ā€”Richard Branson, Losing My Virginity
