I know it’s popular to say “Ideas are easy. Execution is everything,” but I disagree. If ideas are so easy, why are most business ideas so bad? The opportunity you identify, and focus on, matters a lot.

I know talented makers who had to hunt for years before they found a good idea. Good ideas are not easy to find. Often, you have to wait for them. The problem is, most of us are impatient and want to *execute* as soon as possible, so we pick the first idea that comes to mind.

When an author says: “I have an idea for my next book” the success of that book largely depends on the concept they’ve chosen. The same is true in business.

“I’m working on an idea for a new app.” If you’re reasonably good at execution, what matters is *whether people want what you’re building.* That speaks to the strength of the idea.

I've been reading your tweets throughout the day and I'm thinking about what a "good idea" actually is. Then I listened to build your SaaS today when you and Jon were horrified at the idea of building help software. So then a good idea must be: personal interest + market demand.

My personal experience, outside of Fathom, was with my course. 1) Taylor brought serverless to the Laravel ecosystem with Vapor 2) I was obsessed with Vapor and wrote / tweeted about it 3) People kept asking me questions, so I built a course 4) Course sold hundreds of copies

True. But ideas are more mutable than seeds. Wasn't the initial idea for YouTube a dating website? If you're actively doing stuff, and you have a bad idea, you can change the idea (as long as it's not too terrible)

Examples like YouTube, Slack, and Twitter aren’t great because they all had funding (which gave them the time to fail at one idea, and then try another).
