What's the worst advice for startups/founders, that you see being spread often as good ?

Question

Sometimes advices are specific to the user, and may not necessarily be a one-size-fits-all. But, very often there are wildly misleading pieces of information that circulates the web and gets into the book of 'must-do' things for startups/founders. What such piece of advice do you think is actually bad or is something that annoys you ?

Don’t take money too early. Don’t take 20 000€ when you can take 2m
