“Entrepreneurs aren’t idea people, everybody and their brother has ideas. Entrepreneurs are people that exploit ideas by matching them to market needs, executing them despite scarce resources and designing a business model that makes the idea profitable.” ¶

Would’ve loved the quote if it didn’t say “and their brother.”

As an entrepreneur (on sabatical), I think you are right. The key word in the definition is however “executing”. Ideas are common and often duplicates. Good execution counts for a lot.

Agrees 100% with Jonathan. Success is 20% planning and 80% execution

I have to disagree with Paul. Even how good the idea is but was never executed is F.U.B.A.R.
