Ideas Are a Dime a Dozen
Have you ever heard someone say that ideas are a dime a dozen? Well this statement couldn’t be truer. Everyone has ideas, and in fact most people have good ideas. However, there is no such thing as a successful idea. You can have a successful product or successful business, but not a successful idea. Ideas are a dime a dozen.
You need to take an idea from concept, to proof-of-concept, to investment, to business, to successful business. That isn’t the easiest process and usually you don’t end up where you thought you would, but that is the process. All ideas must be though through, tested, and adapted over and over again.
The idea doesn’t bring success. Everyone knows that you can buy a dozen ideas for a dime.

I definitely agree that an ideas don’t bring success. But what people don’t realize is that another idea is needed to make that initial idea a successful business. A great product idea is cool, but you also need a great idea to execute that product. This means that multiple ideas are required in the entire process. It’s just our habit to just focus on the first conceptual idea.
