-: Yeah, failure is just part of the process, absolutely.
And I talk a little bit about
system thinking versus goal thinking.
And if your goal is just to launch a startup,
you can launch a startup and most likely it will fail.
Statistically, you're 80% to 90% likely to fail.
And so if you wanted to succeed in the long term,
starting a company or really doing anything,
you have to think about kind of a systematic approach where
how do I create a system
where I can launch five companies instead of one company?
Because probably those first four are gonna fail.
And if you're lucky, one of them will succeed.
But if you can create a system
where you can be willing to continue
to work on these problems,
you will absolutely continue to learn.
And that's been my journey.
I've had many projects
and most of them are abysmal failures
and learned a lot from them.
And the few successes are the exceptions
which then give you this wonderful wild ride
that is the startup ride.
