How many times have you heard (or even had) a good business idea? Probably quite often. When your family and social circle know you’re in business then you’re often the person that hears about the varied business ideas they have.

What I’ve come to realise is that the idea – whether it’s good or bad – really doesn’t matter a huge amount.

You can have the greatest business idea in the world, but if you don’t do anything about it it’s just that – an idea.

Whereas you can have a really mediocre or unoriginal idea but if you put enough effort into it, it can become a successful business.

It really is the execution that matters.

So if you have an idea that’s groundbreaking – great, now do something about it or shut up.

If you want to get into business but you’re waiting for that great idea. Stop waiting! It’s not as important as you think to have an idea that is unique or original.
