All Advice Is Biased

When giving advice, people recommend others do what worked for them. It’s well intentioned, but when recalling past events people tend to underestimate the value of actions that are easy for them and overvalue the actions that more required effort from them.

One advice that’s quite common in the startup world is that you should launch your MVP as quickly as possible. Some recommend you should be ashamed of your MVP. This advice might be a good advice to someone who is perfectionist but it’s a bad advice for someone who tends to move quickly anyway. Might encourage them to move even faster which would be to their detriment.

Take every advice with a grain of salt. Not all advice applies to everyone equally.
