thank you! defining metrics definitely should be a conversation between people with different perspectives and expertise trying to solve the same problem. 🙌
I like that way to think about approaching metrics, Kax.
I've found many product folks around me over time have a tendency to work within the confines of the metrics they know they can actually pull today versus what could be. This approach could help create the conversation needed to create the metrics you may not have access to right now.
thanks! i find that most of the time metrics are created for the sake of metrics. to tick off a PM to-do list becaus we've been told that we have to - and not to understand if we're solving user's problems and providing value. because most of the time it feels hard. the conversation our community is having around metrics and making knowing metrics a super power skill doesn't help.
And I can't agree with your point about scarcity mindset enough, especially about the narratives we tell ourselves about ourselves and the experiences we go through. Self-awareness is key to noticing these thought patterns that we've formed over time - only when we recognize and acknowledge them can we begin to enact change.
So hard! Still learning to overcome my personal habit of rushing into fixing.
I recently read "When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times" by Pema Chödrön, which I think is one of those books that will go down in my life as being utterly life-changing. Learning to find comfort in the lack of equilibrium when hard situations arise and soak in them.
Good suggestions on measuring success. Agree you need to start and don’t do metrics alone. Thank you!

Appreciate your shout-out, Kax!
