Talking about his mentor, Freddie Laker, Branson said:
"At the time, I was running a little record company; I was about 17
years old. The first time I met him was some years later. I was
thinking about setting up my own airline.
"He
gave me this advice:
'You'll never have the advertising power to outsell British Airways.
You are going to have to get out there and use yourself. Make a fool of
yourself. Otherwise you won't survive'."
