I’ve been around a ton of people in my life that will say things like, “oh yeah, I had the idea for (insert amazing site here), but just didn’t have the chance to follow up on it.” David Heinemeier Hansson speaks at FOWA about the importance of the execution of an idea and not just merely the idea itself.

If you’ve read Google’s story or similar startup stories you’ll find the resistance these entrepreneurs faced was fierce. Check out the talk, really good – not safe for work due to language. (The audio isn’t good for the 1st minute but gets much better after that)
