Imagine youโ€™re building a small app for your startup. Youโ€™ve spent months coding, designing, and launching it. Youโ€™re halfway through the journey when you realize the app doesn't solve the real problemโ€”itโ€™s on the wrong path. Most people would keep going, afraid to lose the effort theyโ€™ve put in. But letโ€™s say you stop, scrap the entire app, and start from scratch, building it the right way this time. To the outside world, this looks foolishโ€”throwing away all that work. But hereโ€™s the thing: now you know exactly what went wrong. Youโ€™ve learned what doesn't work. This time, your path is clearer, and you move faster, creating something better. But someone like Elon Musk would tear it down, fix the foundation, and rebuild. In startups, tearing down and restarting isnโ€™t failureโ€”itโ€™s learning to succeed. It's โ€œstrategic foolishnessโ€โ€”doing what most wouldnโ€™t dare to because you know itโ€™ll lead to success. ~Naval Ravikant
