I'd have probs said:
"A £50 million vegan pizza empire." 🍕😂
→ More staff.
→ Big sexy Shoreditch office.
→ Products in every category.
→ Listed with every retailer.
More everything. 🤪
Back then, I thought bigger automatically meant better.
I don't anymore. 🙅
As One Planet Pizza has grown, something else has changed too.
I've realised I don't want to build the biggest business possible.
I want to build one of the happiest. 💛
→ One that gives our team freedom.
→ One that gives me time with my family.
→ One where me & Amabel can actually switch off at weekends.
→ One where work is exciting, creative and fun.
→ One where we work hard but laugh hard too.
(Normally at Mike's expense 😂)
Having Otis only reinforced that.
These days, success looks very different to me.
If, in 10 years' time, One Planet Pizza was a £5 million business that kept growing steadily, stayed profitable, had a small, incredible team, and gave us the freedom to work from anywhere...
I'd be incredibly proud.
For years, I chased scale.
Now I'm chasing quality...
Quality of life. 💛💪
Maybe that's me getting older.
Maybe it's finally understanding what success actually means to me.
Or maybe it's just becoming a dad.
Has your definition of success changed over the years???
