FAQs
About The Founders Blueprint
What is The Founders Blueprint?
The Founders Blueprint is a personal development journey written and created by David Mills, founder and creator of Wha Gwan Beverages.
Combining a short animated movie with an interactive programme, The Founders Blueprint uses David’s real-life experiences, lessons, setbacks and achievements to encourage you to look at your own life differently.
At its heart is one simple belief:
You are the founder of your own life.
Is The Founders Blueprint a business course?
No. Although David shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey and building Wha Gwan Beverages, The Founders Blueprint is not simply a course about starting or running a business.
It is about you — understanding who you are, how you think, what you believe, what you want from life and where you are going.
You don't need to own a business to be a founder.
You are the founder of you.
What makes The Founders Blueprint different?
This isn't a traditional online course where someone simply sits in front of a camera telling you what to do.
The Founders Blueprint combines storytelling, animation, real-life experiences, personal development and interactive questions.
You watch the story, experience the journey and then turn the focus back onto yourself.
The aim isn't to tell you how to live your life.
It's to help you ask yourself better questions about the life you're creating.
Who created The Founders Blueprint?
The Founders Blueprint was written and created by David Mills, former professional basketball player, entrepreneur, and founder and creator of Wha Gwan Beverages.
David's journey hasn't followed a conventional path, and The Founders Blueprint was created to share the experiences, beliefs and lessons that helped shape that journey.
Is The Founders Blueprint based on a true story?
Yes.
The programme is inspired by real experiences from David Mills' life — from growing up in the UK and struggling academically, to pursuing basketball in America, becoming a professional basketball player and later building Wha Gwan Beverages.
The successes are part of the story, but so are the mistakes, struggles, setbacks and lessons learned along the way.
What is the main message behind The Founders Blueprint?
You can spend your entire life looking outside yourself for the answers.
Sometimes the most important place to look is within.
Understand who you are.
Understand what you want.
Understand where you're going.
Then start building.
You are the founder.
You are the blueprint.
Who It's For
Who is The Founders Blueprint for?
The programme is designed for anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life.
It may particularly resonate with people who feel stuck, have a dream they haven't acted upon, want more from life, are building something of their own, have experienced setbacks, or simply want to understand themselves better.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, employee, student, creator, athlete or someone looking for a new direction, the principles can be applied to your own journey.
Is this only for entrepreneurs?
Absolutely not.
The word Founder within The Founders Blueprint has a much bigger meaning than someone who starts a company.
You are the founder of your decisions.
You are the founder of your direction.
You are the founder of what you choose to build next.
You are the founder of your own life.
Do I need any previous business or personal development experience?
No.
There are no qualifications, business experience or previous personal development courses required.
The Founders Blueprint has been created to be straightforward, relatable and accessible.
All you need is an open mind and a willingness to be honest with yourself.
Is The Founders Blueprint motivational?
There are motivational elements, but the programme is intended to go deeper than motivation.
Motivation can disappear.
The Founders Blueprint is about self-awareness, thinking differently, asking difficult questions and understanding yourself better.
The goal isn't simply to make you feel good for an hour.
The goal is to make you think.
The Journey
What will I learn?
The Founders Blueprint explores themes including:
Self-awareness • Mindset • Belief • Goal setting • Attraction • Manifestation • Decision-making • Focus • Overcoming setbacks • Entrepreneurship • Finding the right people • Taking control of your direction
But rather than simply giving you answers, the programme encourages you to explore your own answers.
How does the interactive programme work?
As you move through The Founders Blueprint, you'll be encouraged to reflect on the themes and experiences presented in the movie.
You'll then be given questions and exercises designed to make you think about your own life, decisions, goals and direction.
The purpose is not just to watch.
It's to watch, think, question and apply.
What does "You Are The Blueprint" mean?
It means your life doesn't have to follow somebody else's blueprint.
Your experiences, strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, decisions, ambitions and dreams all form part of your own blueprint.
Understanding yourself is the starting point.
Because when you understand who you are, it becomes easier to understand where you're going.
Is The Founders Blueprint telling me how to become successful?
No.
There is no single blueprint for success, and everyone's definition of success is different.
David shares the beliefs, experiences and principles that have shaped his own journey.
You decide what applies to yours.
The Programme
How long does the programme take?
The Founders Blueprint is designed to be consumed differently from a traditional long-form course.
The movie is intentionally short and engaging, while the interactive sections encourage you to stop, think and reflect.
You can work through the programme at your own pace rather than rushing to complete it.
Can I complete it on my phone?
Yes.
The programme is designed to be accessible online, allowing you to experience The Founders Blueprint on compatible smartphones, tablets and computers.
Can I go back and watch sections again?
Yes. In fact, we encourage it.
Your answers and perspective may change as your circumstances change.
Something that doesn't connect with you today may have a completely different meaning six months from now.
Will there be more episodes?
Yes. The Founders Blueprint has been created as a journey rather than a single piece of content.
Future episodes will explore more experiences, principles and lessons, with each one encouraging you to go deeper into your own blueprint.
