If you don’t believe me, go browse old listings on Product Hunt. You’ll see page after page of beautifully executed products that never achieved meaningful traction. There have been thousands of ideas posted; most failed. Are ideas really “easy?”

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.

Realizing that many of you use this framework: Idea
Execution (and validation is a part of execution)
That’s not how I think about ideas and execution.2 odpowiedzi 0 podanych dalej 8 polubionychPokaż ten wątek -

Most bootstrappers who want to maximize for success (not all cases) it's best to skip the idea and go right to execution. You skip the idea by picking existing validated markets. Vast majority of successful bootstrappers you see use this method (even if it's subconscious)

To me, "my idea is to launch a product in this validated market" *is* the idea. That's the concept you're building on. You see the pull of the market, and you think: "I've got an idea: I should build something here that does X better."

Yeah, I agree with that. I feel like most people get stuck trying to invent something 'new' rather than iterating on someone else's starting point.
