What would be a good example of this?
A significant fraction of advising early stage startups is reassuring them when they're already doing the right thing, but worry that it's a mistake because it's not the conventional thing to do.

Is the worry caused by the startup being at an early stage or the founders’ lack of experience?

@paulg I wonder how much of this hand-wringing comes from their perception of what's 'conventional' to begin with. This is something I'm working on, particularly for African startups - helping to surface commonly-used but little-celebrated Ops tactics, over at@RabiaAfricaOrg . -

The faster horses vs cars worry antidotes: 1. Are the conventional ways of measuring “need” deep enough ? 2. Are the conventional alternatives tackling the underlying “need” close to ideal ? 3. Does the startup have the focus on solving for the need (of the need)^3 ? Perhaps.

I hope that advice is to "talk to an expert"...because navigating that alone crushes a lot of founders and impacts their business as well.
