Ideas are good, but execution is vital

Any good business starts with a good business idea - it’s the first step in any entrepreneurial handbook. But that’s the important thing to remember, it’s just the first step on a very long ladder to business success. It's well understood that ideas are one thing but execution is everything. And, a good business idea is only as good as the people who are able to follow a well thought out plan and execute it. It's about obsessing on the quality of the manufacturing; or perfecting the user experience; building the perfect new product development process; or putting in place the most effective strategies and processes to deal with the inevitable heartaches and setbacks. All that needs to be practically executed before achieving the desired growth and turning that idea into a real business and brand. So, there are two key rules for idea execution. It starts with building a great team who have the skills, the attitude, and a collaborative approach to getting things done. Next, it relies on a clear vision of what the business stands for and what it is trying to achieve, and an understanding where new ideas fit into the bigger picture.
