Success is…
1.Being in charge of your time.
2.Working with people who are self-driven to do amazing work.
3.A good night's sleep.
If 3 goes away, take a close look at 1+2.

Heading home. Myself and Clare got introduced to The Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry. Talked about how to lessen the impact of denim on the planet.

Soon after I wrote this on my office wall, I left my company. A decade later I moved my new company into the same building. To my surprise, the words were still there. This is what they said.

This conversation changed my life.
It helped me understand the importance of non-obvious goals.
“Hey Dave, tell me your plans?”
My answer: “Win some awards. Start an agency.”
I asked him the same question. His answer: “Canoe to work.”

Wow. On getting out of the sea this morning, someone had left these by our towels. A hot flask of black coffee, warm cakes and a note of encouragement.

Most businesses don’t have a growth problem, they have a culture problem. They chase numbers. But numbers don’t grow a business. Humans do. Create a culture where you help your people grow, then the numbers will take care of themselves.

When you decided to be a founder, you traded the security of a salary for insecurity of an idea. It’s called being alive.

This is a clip from BBC's Inside The Factory last night.
- I knew they couldn't namecheck Hiut too often.
- But I knew they would say Cardigan Town a ton of times.
- So I got this big vinyl made.
OUR TOWN IS MAKING JEANS AGAIN.
And let Google do the rest.

I am more Dim Hoff than Wim Hoff, but since October I have been taking a morning swim apart from Saturdays. I have learnt the sea is cold. The coffee is essential. And the feeling afterwards makes you feel good for the rest of the day. Who knew?

I started a company. I sold it. Then I left.
Over a decade later, I returned to the same building with my new company.
The words were still up on the wall.

Seem like real goals until you get them:
- Bigger house
- Second home
- Faster car
- More followers than…
- Earning more than….
Real goals
- In control of your time
- Joy
- Health
- Friendships
- Trust
- Work that gives you meaning

Growth is like chocolate. You crave it. Feel miserable when you can’t have any. And when you have too much, you wish you didn’t have it all at once.

I think The Do Lectures is making ripples. Met someone on the train who was reading a Do Book. Met someone at Pret who had been on a Do workshop. And as I left the hotel, met someone who is coming to April’s workshop. Small world.

The ROI on an acorn is poor in its first decade or two. Dont optimise for the quickest return. That mindset rarely builds anything remarkable.

Place small bets. Often. Experiment without betting the farm. Just the farm gate. Then when you find something that resonates, do more of that. Follow your curiosity.

It is far easier to talk about leaving a comfort zone than to actually leave one. But when you choose easy, a part of you loses respect for you.

Ciaran opening the Facebook Gather event this morning by talking about a town making jeans again. Heart started beating crazy fast. Felt my face go red. Wasn’t expecting that. Proud for the team.

This text from Tony Davidson 14 years ago, probably received on an old Nokia, was the catalyst for Clare and I to start

. Today I did a talk to the Expo at Dubai to share the learnings from a cowshed.
