Ideas are worth nothing unless executed

Have you ever been in one of those situations where you are with a group of people talking about a particular uber successful product that has been launched to market and someone says, “Oh I thought about something similar to that years ago but never did anything about it.” I hear it often and it always brings about a wry smile, because in that sentence is the difference between entrepreneurs and everybody else. Entrepreneurs have an idea, but then importantly they test that idea, they develop a business model around it, they run with it, and they execute it. Ideas are easy, but it’s the implementation that is sometimes difficult to achieve. As Apple founder, Steve Jobs, once famously said, “To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.”
