I’ve noticed many founders retreat when they should advance and advance when they should retreat.
Big off-strategy B2B deal that will derail the company? They advance headfirst!
Running out of money? They retreat - becoming more conservative and cutting important people - instead of advancing with a more aggressive focus on their key metrics and launching into an effective process of raising capital against a big vision.
