His advice was to follow your instinct rather than the herd. I don't see how that's related to learn startup methodology.

The lean startup methodology is a process for following either the herd (coupons!) or your instinct (something useful).

I think concentrating on any methodology and thinking success will come is irrational.

In the end, it comes down to blood sweat and actual work put into something.
