3. The Growth Hacker’s Mindset

4. Where You
Are Now
Where You
Have To Go

5. Mark has said he thinks we won because we wanted it
more, and I really believe that. We just worked really hard.
It’s not like we’re crazy smart, or we’ve all done these
crazy things before. We just worked really really hard, and
we executed fast. I strongly encourage you to do that.
Growth is optional.
Alex Schultz, VP Growth on Facebook

6. Love data exploration. But be prepared, data ruins the
best stories. You need to have the guts to do take
responsibility and standstill.

7. Before doing anything, don’t just ask yourself whether it
will move the needle. Calculate it. Your opinion and
your gut feeling are not enough.

8. Listen to what data says. Make experiments based on
data. Take decisions based on data. But never forget that
YOU are the driver and not your data.

9. Be relentless and get used to fail. There will be times when
you will be continuously failing for months without growing
at all. Startup growth is for hustlers.

10. Focus on the first time experience. Get them to their
‘a-ha’ moment as quickly as possible.

because they had found their a-ha moment and
success metric. So, go for it.
