Building a startup takes 1,000 experiments, not books or courses. You learn by testing ideas daily, failing often, and tweaking what doesn't work. The failures teach you why something broke so you can fix it.

I think it was Edison who said that the invention of the light bulb was an invention of 1,000 steps. So I think the entrepreneurial journey is the journey of 1,000 experiments. As we were talking earlier, you can learn as much as you want to learn from books, social media, attend courses, anything you want, talk to people, get a mentor. The only— you can't avoid experimenting. That's the only way for you to learn. And that's what I think that in my last 2 years, because I started 2 years ago, that's what I've been doing. I'm just experimenting everything single day. And there are things that work and there are things that don't work at all. And there are things that don't work and I understand why and I tweak them and they work. So it's just an experiment and you need to be okay with that.
