Greet a Plateau like an old friend

It’s inevitable, you will plateau at some point. This is a cycle.

Once I’m there, I start asking my brain questions:

  • What does the data actually say is happening?
  • What is the stupidly obvious thing I haven’t tried yet?
  • What would a friend or mentor of mine do in this scenario?
  • If I was going to make a simple tweak to the current product, what would I change?
  • Let’s look at the first-mile of the product with a fresh set of eyes, what 10% tweaks would make this 200% better?
  • Who’s already successfully doing this? What the heck are they doing differently?
  • Who are 3 smart people I can talk to on the phone to help me problem solve this?
