The execution mafia
It’s not about the idea it’s about the execution, falls short. A bad idea done well is still a waste.
Pursuing a terrible idea is a trait amplified by an experience deficit.
Good ideas are often belittled by the execution mafia, but it takes significant time and experience to come up with truly great ideas.
The saying “It’s not about the idea, but the execution” falls short in my view. Spending time executing a weak idea is more wasteful than having an idea that goes unexecuted. Genuinely good ideas dont just come from anywhere, they’re born of experience, the ability to think differently, and not everyone has that knack.
The notion that “anyone can think of a good idea” is a misconception. Plenty of people come up with truly poor ideas.
At the same time, having a good idea without knowing how to execute it or, worse, arrogantly assuming its simple, is a mistake. Many believe their idea is groundbreaking without any experience in bringing it to life. When this happens, assumptions become the real enemy.
