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

Printed on museum-quality giclée Epson matte paper, framed, and delivered on demand

Soak in the world of @SahilBloom

I organized and distilled his educational threads into a summary of big ideas

What he’s taught us about how to think, errors to avoid, and personal growth:
In a world of copycat solutions, rejecting base level assumptions is key to achieving non-linear outcomes.

Rejecting assumptions leads to first principles thinking. First principles thinking leads to creative solutions. And creative solutions lead to non-linear outcomes.
Together, making assumptions and reasoning by analogy lead to unimaginative, linear solutions that resemble all that’s been done before.

A distillation of what @stephsmithio said about creating, taking feedback, and marketing yourself in the 10x Creator Course:
Creating is like a cross-country bike ride: a long, ambitious journey.

Long journeys are physically demanding, but the hardest part isn’t the work itself. It’s managing your own psychology.

It’s showing up every day and continuing to ride.
Many creators focus on pedaling ten percent faster or finding shortcuts instead of eliminating things they don’t need and investing in things that make the ride easier.

The one thing that ultimately determines your success is ensuring you show up every day and ride.

A distillation of what @wes_kao said about product and company building in the 10x Creator Course

How to commit to a direction and be open to changing it:
There's no cap on the quality of your course, product, or business

But when you’re building, three questions never go away:
🔷What should I fix?
🔷What should I improve?
🔷What should I build next?
🔷If you wait too long to get information, it's too late
🔷If you stay too flexible, you won’t get anywhere
🔷If you ignore too much, you might go the wrong way

A distillation of what @shl said about creativity and entrepreneurship in the 10x Creator Course:
Some of the most successful musicians don’t make transcendent music; they make good music and talk about their process.

Some of the most successful authors don’t write prize-winning books; they write good books and talk about their process.
Breakout creators are like startups. They reinvest what they make into themselves.

Think about everything related to running a business, then apply that to being a solopreneur.

To build equity and asset value, build a catalog of products.
