First Principles Thinking: why your last diet & business plan failed and how Elon Musk's thinking can help you fix it.
16 Jun 2025
Ever wonder why diets fail, business strategies collapse? The answer lies not in the approach itself, but in how we think about implementing change. Thinking in first principles, Elon Musk's favorite mental model that helped him build seemingly impossible businesses, transforms how we approach challenges across all domains. When we stop following rules and shortcuts we don't understand and instead dig into the foundational elements of how things actually work, we create sustainable systems that adapt as our lives evolve. Consider the difference between "thinking in diets" versus "thinking like a nutritionist." The former might lead you to cut carbs without understanding their crucial role in brain function, hormone regulation, and overall health. The latter empowers you to make informed decisions based on your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals. This same principle applies whether you're building a business, improving relationships, or transforming your fitness. That's why personalized coaching works so effectively, it combines foundational principles with your specific context, strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. Generic advice from the internet or social media can't account for your unique circumstances. Even advanced AI tools lack the lived experience necessary to fully grasp what implementation looks like in your particular life.
