Ideas are Everything
I’ve been reading a lot lately on the Internet about how ideas are worthless and execution is everything. Well bullshit.
Normally I’d sit on the fence and say well it’s a little bit of both: you need a good idea and good execution, but you know what … ideas are everything!
As makers, founders and entrepreneurs we invest heavily in ideas, why would be invest in something that was worthless?
Without an idea there is no execution. There is no testing. There are no results to evaluate. It all starts and ends with an idea.
Nobody is going to pay their hard earned money to you for your idea, unless you can prove that it works, that’s where the execution comes in, but money isn’t the only way to assign value to an idea.
Ideas are hope. If you you don’t like how things work, if you don’t like how something is done now, ideas give you hope that things can change.
Don’t like going to the video store, have to pick up a video and drive home before you can watch it? What if you could just stream it right to your TV at home.
