Great points! I think that many good ideas die due to lack of discipline or follow-through, lack of resources to implement, and undercapitalization. However, another factor that can be equally detrimental to a person’s success is an overabundance of ideas and the desire to implement each one. This can cause a person to be stretched too thin. Instead of committing to one with 100% effort, the temptation is to commit a little energy to each one, and reap lackluster results from all. Also, it is natural for a person to get bored with one idea and just move on to the next. A perfect example is a trader who jumps from one system to the next, without ever devoting the time and energy necessary to become proficient and profitable with one system.

I definitely agree with you that ideas are cheap and the really important part of creating a business is executing the idea successfully, not just having the idea.

The way to “sell an idea” is create some value around it and get people to invest. But since ideas are cheap a lot of VCs will (and rightfully so) want to invest more in the person than the idea. Execution is hard and it takes experience to make ideas a reality.

More of my thoughts on this here:

Great article. Ideas are really the only thing that can keep the world moving even in this world of uncertainty. I am not trying to be pessimistic by saying uncertainty but we shouldn’t expect the positive side of things all the time. If you’ve got ideas of which you can’t implement, please share it with others and make the world a better place to stay.
I thank you for the great article that took you probable 15-30 minutes to prepare.
God Bles You.
