Howdy Curiosity is a community for solopreneurs, creatives, and enthusiasts looking to take their passion projects and side hustles to the next level. Launching in Autumn 2021, this is the culture code we have adopted and live by.
3. Our Community
Code
The CIRCLE represents
how we value ourselves,
our fellow community
members, and our
intellectual curiosity.
It’s at the heart of
everything we do.
4. Curiosity over
Expertise
Asking questions, admitting you
don't know, and being willing to be
wrong are key to knowledge and
skill acquisition. You don't have to
already be an established pro or
have an extensive pedigree to be
able to make valuable
contributions.
5. Inherent Value
is Enough
As you explore new ideas and
concepts, it’s okay to reach a point
where you recognize that doing so
may not result in financial gain, a
new client, or a life-changing
revelation.
It is more than enough to learn and
explore for the sake of learning and
exploring.
6. Reframe the
Things that
Scare You
Fear is not inherently bad.
Fear tells us that there is something
we lack. When things scare us–
such as starting our own business,
joining a gym, or getting involved
with a new community group– it
indicates that there is an
opportunity for us to learn and
expand outside of our comfort
zone.
7. Community
Amplifies
Individual
Strengths
Telling ourselves that we are alone
and that we don’t have anyone
supporting us is a form of using
fear as a crutch. It validates our
fears of moving forward.
Community– even if you’re a
seasoned solopreneur or total
introvert– allows us to build each
other up, amplify our strengths, and
overcome self-imposed limits.
8. Learning is
About More
than Quick
Answers
One of the reasons we believe in
coming together is that you can’t
learn everything you need from a
quick Google search.
When it comes to building the life
you want, you need more than
blanket advice and platitudes. You
need hands-on experience. You
need to ask questions and be asked
questions.
In short, you need genuine learning
opportunities.
9. Explore with an
Open Mind
One thing that is certain is that as
you’re investigating new topics and
skills, you’re going to face
challenges.
At Howdy Curiosity, we don’t back
down from challenges. Instead, we
recognize them for what they are
and come together as a community
to overcome them.
