A 🧵 on what successful creators have in common:

Successful creators are optimistic, curious about life, and not easily deterred.

They build on the ideas of others and help more people do the same.

Because they possess these traits, nothing can contain their enthusiasm.

Successful creators believe in limitless paths.

They never know how far one idea will take them.

While some may see impractical exploration, they see never-ending inspiration.

Successful creators are positive.

Their affirmations amount to a creator's worldview: the philosophy and ethos of the creator economy.

These beliefs aren’t obvious or intuitive. They’re formed by the experience of creating and participating.

We designed this print to inspire people to build on the ideas of others.

In 2018, @naval shared a thread that sparked curiosity in @jackbutcher

Jack inspired us to create, which introduced us to each other and led to this collaboration.

Each purchase of a framed Creator Manifesto provides one unframed print for teachers to hang in their classrooms.

Our goal is to inspire as many people as possible to pursue their creative dreams.

Reply to sign on to these creative principles, and we'll list you on the landing page.

I'll also DM you a discount code and we have a special surprise coming tomorrow....

It’s not what makes creators different that makes them succeed.

It’s what they’ve come to believe in common, and who they’ve become.

By taking inspiration from others, we can’t help ourselves from creating.

Pre-orders start today!

For readers & thinkers, discoverers & artists, and the people we admire most: creators
