A note for my creator friends...
Just a quick note today for all the creators on this list:
Jealousy is good.
That creator over there is crushing it in your category, lapping you.
Good.
Ignite that jealousy into a fire in your belly.
A flame that’ll push you into action.
As Walt Disney said, "I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it."
Now, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be happy for friends when they win.
It should absolutely make you happy.
But it should also spur you towards your own lofty goals.
There’s no better motivation in life than to be surrounded by friends and colleagues that are absolutely crushing it.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
So the next time you see a friend’s post take off, like it, RT it, and leave a supporting comment!
Then go make your own viral tweet.
Other creators aren't competition.
They’re motivation.
Get inspired.
Get moving.
Get some,
