This reflective piece shares 7 key lessons learned from 10 years of running Skcript: start where others stop, make good things great, never settle for conventional wisdom, always be curious, practice persistence, understand that great things take time and consistency, and be grateful. The article emphasizes how Skcript was built on ideas rather than convention, creating a platform for creative growth where everyone embraced change and innovation.
Skcript started 10 years ago with a very clear set of goals. From day one, we were run by ideas, and great ideas always won over everything else. Being run by great ideas comes with a whole different way of thinking about running a company, and above all, we had to be very clear about what we will stand for, and what we won't.
We were never conventional, and here's a quick note that I wrote while I was on a long drive to meet my co-founder in 2013. Looking back, everything I had written down still runs at the core of what we do at Skcript.
All these years, I have worked with so many amazing people, and learned from them every day. Everyone who has worked at Skcript never stood still. They were all welcoming to change, and always wanted to do something new.
The following are the 7 important lessons I have learned from running Skcript to be a platform of creative growth for so many people over the last decade.
- Start where others stop
- If you find something good, make it great

I hope some of these learnings will help you build a great company for amazing people. I also believe you are smart enough to understand what each of these means, and how you can apply them to your life.
