Folks keep commenting: "But coming up with ideas *is* easy!" Coming up with low-quality ideas is easy. (So is executing something poorly).

There are tons of tech people who are skilled at building software but struggle to build good software businesses. The difference is in the quality of their ideas.

We underestimate the power of a good idea. Most of the future potential for success is contained within the idea itself. Of course you need to *do the work* to move forward. But the idea determines your direction and momentum.

We often compare ideas to seeds. But a bad seed can’t grow into a plant; only a good seed can. Got a bad idea? Don’t spend lots of time fertilizing it, watering it, and trying to get it to grow. No! Throw it away. Focus on cultivating good ideas and helping them grow.

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.

But, we don’t know the idea is sound at the start. We rationalize a narrative as to why it worked later, and often it’s post hoc fallacy as to why it succeeded.

I think we should have a sense whether an idea’s basic premise is good, before we start building it. Otherwise, why would we dedicate years of our lives working on it? https://blog.asmartbear.com/customer-validation.html …pic.twitter.com/s0Q41sIT2s

Right, I agree. But to me, it seems like you're saying the idea must be great first. So it seems like anchoring to something w/o adaptability - a recipe for crippling perfectionism, no? And cases exist trying idea w/o concern if the premise is good and wildly succeed.
