When the startup feels like it's in a rut, or no progress is being made (because of team, money, supplier, distributor, etc.) there are a few options:
1) Hope that the logjam will break up by itself
2) Attack the logjam(s)
3) Attack different problems
4) Hope for an amazing stroke of luck -- someone unexpectedly drops a solution right into your path
5) Other outcome
In my mind, #1 and #4 are possible, but unlikely. Option #2 is warranted, but unpleasant, and sometimes not possible to address (eg., a customer repeatedly blows you off). #3 is a great option -- there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done, and making progress on those fronts can make you feel a lot better.
As for #5, what else did I miss?
