Like if I got a call and he said, I want to buy your broken iPhone screens.
And I said, okay, I'm going to do that.
But I don't want to just sell iPhone screens.
That's lame.
I'm going to do Samsung, right?
Pretty good chance there's not even a market for that, or there's not even a method for that.
And because of my ego, my pride, my unwillingness to just copy what's already working, I wouldn't have that successful business in my back pocket, right?
So-
If you do twist in the beginning, it's kind of like you're kind of thinking of an analogy.
Like if you're on a long road trip and you start taking detours early on, or if a flight is on a flight path and he starts like getting off track just a little bit at the beginning, he's going to end up hundreds of miles away from his destination.
But if he starts making tweaks along the way, then he'll be much closer to where he would have been anyway.
And you might reach a better destination with some of those tweaks.
Exactly.
Because you're blending it with your experience, what you know better than the person that you're copying.
And so it's important to copy the model exactly at the beginning because you're also going to learn what it is about that existing model that works.
Yeah.
And therefore what you can iterate on, change, expand.
If you didn't, then you might miss something.
Exactly.
Because so often I've made the mistake of looking at another business and saying, oh man, why are they doing that?
