Welcome to Makers. I’m Josh, the founder of Orbit, and every week I simplify and share practical design advice on taking ideas from zero to one.

This week, I'm sharing a short personal reflection on how I mentally overcame a plateau in growth, something many of you may have experienced in your current projects or businesses.

Whether you're working on a startup, thinking of starting one, or managing a side project, we all hit mental walls at some point. We can either let them consume us, or we can figure out how to work through them and move forward.

I hope this week's story helps you to do just that.
