As an entrepreneur, my problem was that I had too many ideas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Having too many ideas is not always a good thing.
I had an idea, I was passionate about it and I had to work hard to turn that into a big success and more products.
I've definitely had ideas and plans that sometimes exceed my means and capabilities.
My problem is not that there are too few ideas out there. It's that there are too many.
I have too many ideas for a lifetime.
All you need do is listen to very smart people and sift out the ideas that are unworthy or implausible, and I wouldn't pretend for a moment that I hadn't made lots of mistakes and there are companies, perhaps, that we had been investors in.
People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' Well, on the first place, I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea, it's too limiting and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.
If the only ideas you had were your own, you'd be very limited.
My company and people think I'm wacky when I have an idea... I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it.
As an entrepreneur you keep trying things, and I try everything. I try business ideas, on our website we test everything, iterate, iterate, iterate.
