What are some KPI's you've used when launching to measure success, outside of monetary value or user numbers?

Hello to all my fellow Makers! As a rookie product manager, I want to start a thread to invite some fellow makers to share insight on one of the most essential aspects of product development, "Where to begin?": Some thought-provoking questions I would love to hear discourse about are: 1) What has worked well for you when beginning product development, including what questions do you ask yourself or your team? And what hasn't? 2) How do you first engage with cross-functional teams when you're just beginning? 3) How do you provide clarity and remove confusion with your team? 4) What's your first step to defining "Product Vision"? The above questions are just a few of the top of my head but I would be glad to hear more!

I'll start first: Facebook Ads. We've realized it's simply too early to advertise there (most SaaS companies were optimizing for 12-20 months return on investment, so they could allow to spend much more to acquire a customer). What about you?

Morning routines are super important at least for me anyway. I typically start mine with a coffee and 30 mins offline so reading a book normally.

Any tools online or off! Recipe websites, organizer apps, meal prep container I just bought avocado storage and a fancy asparagus peeler

Habit forming is a bit of a buzzword these days I feel but the value is quite obvious when forming good habits. The main ones I have formed are reading every day and drinking 2l every day, easily done as the benefits are obvious, what are some you have formed?

I thought for sure that my product would sell itself. Nope. Marketing is more difficult than building product. Personally, I thought yoga was a bunch of hippie BS. Then I got stressed, my back started to hurt and yoga saved me. As I get older, I've realized that wisdom really means experience and having an open mind.

Did you know? Pigeons were used for sending messages and invitations not only in ancient times, but as recently as early in 1990s, during World War I. If you have been given a chance to train a Pigeon. What (one) skill will you train her for? P.S. - The average peak speed of homing pigeons is 60 miles per hour.

I have 4 kids, and it has been a long journey for me to balance how to be able to spend time with my family and kids while building comeet.me effectively. Being remote and async first has helped a lot. What's your experience and how you do it?

This is a generalization of course. But do a quick Google search on this topic and you'll see a bunch of articles on this topic with a number of reasons why. I'd like to know your personal issues with task management apps. What type of work do you do and where do these apps help vs. get in the way?

Motivation or willpower is not an infinite resource. It's much like a muscle that can get tired. How do you recharge yourself in those situations?

Just watched The Social Dilemma. They told me it was good. Yet, I am fascinated. Even though they highlighted many parts of the dilemma, I am not convinced with what they proposed as regulation levers. No offense though. I know it is hard to make it fit in a 90-minutes movie. It feels like the history is repeating itself. Let's take the example of the Dutch East India Company, a.k.a. VOC. Throughout the 17th century, this private company got so big that they colonized Indonesia for two centuries. Why? Because they were pursuing their business model's interests. Indeed, capitalism was just born and society wasn't aware of its limits yet. They didn't know it could destabilize a whole society. When people figured it wasn't normal that a private company could control a whole country, they started to regulate. Turned out the VOC was nationalized. It didn't kill the problem right away. Yet, nowadays a private company cannot control a physical territory. And it might be for the best! So, what happens with 21st-century tech companies? They don't control territories with physical frontiers. But they do control people within these zones. Time has passed. Things are more complicated and diversified than before. Nationalizing might not be the solution. A radical change in their business model is not conceivable either. As said in the film, some fiscal regulations such as taxes on data collection and processing could work. Society agrees it is time for regulation. But, what can they be?

It's somehow Monday again! I find it super important to start your week off with how you intend to continue. In that fashion, I want to know how you start your Mondays? I typically start with an hour reading then jump into my emails.

Another week has passed and it's Friday, it being Halloween weekend and all I'm sure people have some fun plans, albeit socially distant of course. Personally, I'm watching spooky movies and eating pizza. Currently on the plan are: Halloween, Scream, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity, the Exorcism. What are your favorites?

Where do you like to work from: 1. Home 2. Coffee shop 3. Co-working space 4. Beach 5. Something else I love working from coffee shops

I know that a lot of people love working remotely, but I ask those who are struggling: why is that? What are things that are hard (time management, motivation, bad internet etc)?

Would love to see what people listen to (or don't). I've always listened to lo-fi music when working and it actually makes me somewhat productive but I'm curious to see what others do
