The founder of The North Face is not rich from this brand!!

5/12 Edited to

... Read moreเรื่องราวของ Douglas Tompkins ผู้ก่อตั้ง The North Face ถือเป็นหนึ่งในตัวอย่างที่สะท้อนความจริงในวงการธุรกิจเสื้อผ้าแอคทีฟแวร์ได้อย่างน่าสนใจ ผมเองเคยได้ฟังเรื่องนี้จากการอ่านและติดตามบอกเล่าจากหลายแหล่งที่มาที่ะเกี่ยวข้องกับการก่อตั้งแบรนด์นี้ จุดเริ่มต้นของ The North Face ไม่ได้ทำให้เขากลายเป็นเศรษฐีเหมือนที่หลายคนคาดหวัง เพราะ Tompkins ใช้เงินกู้จากธนาคารเพียง 5,000 เหรียญสหรัฐเปิดร้านในปี 1964 และไม่กี่ปีต่อมาเขาก็เริ่มหมดความสนใจในธุรกิจนี้ ความจริงที่น่าสนใจก็คือ Tompkins ไม่ได้มั่งคั่งจากการดำเนินกิจการ The North Face แต่เขากลับขายกิจการนี้ในราคาเพียง 50,000 เหรียญเท่านั้น หลังจากนั้นชีวิตของเขาก็เปลี่ยนไปอย่างสิ้นเชิง เมื่อเขาเริ่มเกลียดระบบทุนนิยมและแฟชั่นที่เน้นความเร็วอย่าง fast fashion เขาจึงตัดสินใจลาออกจากวงการและกลับไปลงใต้ที่ชิลีเพื่อลงมือทำงานด้านอนุรักษ์ธรรมชาติ นี่คือจุดที่เปลี่ยนแปลงชีวิตเขาไปอย่างเต็มตัว ความนิยมของ The North Face อาจจะสะท้อนความสำเร็จของแบรนด์ในตลาดโลก แต่ประวัติของผู้ก่อตั้งให้บทเรียนเรื่องความสำคัญของการตามหาคุณค่าที่แท้จริงและความสุขส่วนตัวมากกว่าการวิ่งไล่หากำไรอย่างเดียว ผมมองว่าเรื่องนี้ช่วยให้เราเข้าใจว่าเบื้องหลังธุรกิจใหญ่มักมีเรื่องราวซ่อนอยู่ที่มากกว่าแค่ตัวเลขรายรับ หากคุณสนใจเรื่องเล่าแนวนี้ แนะนำให้ลองศึกษาชีวิตของ Douglas Tompkins และเรื่องราวที่เกี่ยวข้องกับแพทาโกเนีย (Patagonia) แบรนด์ที่เขาเกี่ยวข้องหลังจากนั้น ซึ่งเต็มไปด้วยแรงบันดาลใจและการลงมือทำเพื่อสิ่งแวดล้อมจริงใจ ในแง่ของการทำแบรนด์และธุรกิจ เรื่องราวนี้ยังแสดงให้เห็นอีกมุมหนึ่งของความสำเร็จที่ไม่ใช่แค่เรื่องเงินทอง แต่เป็นการที่เราได้สร้างสิ่งที่มีความหมายให้กับโลก และสร้างแรงกระเพื่อมในสังคมได้อย่างยั่งยืน
