A great idea is not enough.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.
Ideas won't keep; something must be done about them.
You need more than just a great idea. Your product or service must add an enormous amount of value to some industry. If the idea isn't completely new, it has to be better, cheaper, or more efficient than what we already have.
New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can't be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
There's no good idea that can't be improved on.
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.
I have this belief that if you have an idea, and you have to write it down to remember it, then it can't be a great idea.
Having too many ideas is not always a good thing.
When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.
