One of the most powerful kinds of copying is to copy something from one field into another. History is so full of chance discoveries of this type that it's probably worth giving chance a hand by deliberately learning about other kinds of work.

How to Do Great Work
Paul Graham
You’ll map your growth model in 4 steps.
1. Find your North Star Metric (NSM): the number that ultimately tracks value delivered to customers and causes revenue. This expresses your ultimate goal tangibly.
2. Find the key drivers that increase the North Star: from when people first encounter your business to the point where they’re happy, loyal, revenue-generating customers.
3. Identify your growth levers: the activities that could have the greatest impact on your key drivers.
4. Identify your rate-limiting step (RLS): where you can focus to have the greatest impact.
