It helps me keep things in perspective, especially when things get crazy or I get stressed or we have obstacles. I write about what’s going on in my personal and spiritual life or what’s going on at work. I’ve been keeping it for a long time - I’ve filled more than 50 books. Almost every morning I write in my journal. I usually get up at 8:30, have a Clif Bar for breakfast, and spend a few hours thinking and writing before going in to the office. When I wake up on the boat, it’s very relaxed.
about five or six days a month, and the rest of the time I’m on the road.I live on a boat in Marina del Rey. When he is not on the road, Mycoskie, 33, reconnects with employees in quick, focused meetings and in relaxed afternoons on his sailboat.My schedule varies depending on what city I wake up in. That frees him up to spend much of his time traveling - spreading the Toms gospel, delivering shoes to children in Africa and South America, and taking fairly lengthy vacations. He delegates the day-to-day operation of the company to his management team. The company’s canvas slip-on shoes - the same type it often donates - now sell for $45 to $85 a pair in upscale retailers such as Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman.The more Toms grows, the less time Mycoskie seems to spend in the office. In the four years since its founding, the Los Angeles-based company, which has 72 employees, has given away 600,000 pairs of shoes. For every pair of shoes Toms sells, it donates a new pair to a child in a developing country.
After spending time in several villages in which children didn’t own shoes, he created a company - originally dubbed Shoes for Tomorrow - in which helping those kids, and others like them, is part of the business plan. A serial entrepreneur, Mycoskie got the idea for his latest company, Toms Shoes, while on vacation in Argentina.
