## Caption

One of the things I admire most isn’t success.
It’s the character that accompanies it.

My friend thejamesashford has just released his latest book, but what struck me wasn’t the title or even the content (although I’m looking forward to reading it).

It was a simple sticker on the front.
Every copy he sends to friends who have helped him along the way has their name printed on it.

Most people save the thank yous for the acknowledgements at the back.
James puts them on the front.

It’s a quiet reminder that no one succeeds alone.

Success leaves clues.
Character leaves fingerprints.

I’ve been privileged to leave a few fingerprints on James’ journey, just as he’s left many on mine.

Congratulations, James. More than a great entrepreneur, you’re a great human being.
The business world could always do with more people like you.
