«If you feel like you’ve figured it all out, you’re probably hitting a plateau, and your growth is stagnating. The unknown isn’t something to fear; it’s where all the growth happens.»
Reflecting on 15+ years of building Doist and chatting with people who’ve scaled companies far bigger than ours, one thing stands out: nobody knows WTH they’re doing 😅
Behind the polished facades, everyone makes decisions with incomplete information in a constantly changing environment.
Success isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about staying curious and focused on what truly matters. For me, that boils down to:
— Continuously learn and expand your perspective (through books, newsletters, podcasts, talking with others, etc.)
— Thinking from first principles, i.e., identifying the ground truths and building from there
— Asking sharp, piercing questions, especially critical when coaching or collaborating with others
If you feel like you’ve figured it all out, you’re probably hitting a plateau, and your growth is stagnating. The unknown isn’t something to fear; it’s where all the growth happens.
What principles guide you when navigating the unknown?

Freemium will kill you.
Seriously, if you launch a product with a freemium part, it will kill you. Freemium will get more than 90% of your users on its side, and together, they will do everything against your future.
A vocal majority of freemium users will attack your customer support and your development team, mainly with features only they want. The noise from these users is much louder than the signal from the few percent of users who pay, support, and really value what you are doing.
I like the story
As time passes, I stop worrying about the past; Instead, I enjoy reflecting on it.
I know what I could have changed, but I have no regrets — it was all valuable experience.
The key is understanding and solving problems, which I see as true progress.
