Is waiting for the right opportunity worth it?
Whether you are starting a new venture or looking towards the next step in your career, friends are always happy to give you great advice. One of my favorites, is “you need to wait for the RIGHT opportunity.” It sounds so easy, but rarely is.
Why Your Idea Doesn'’t Matter
Working with high growth companies means constantly sorting through new product and service offerings to find expansion opportunities in the market. Whether it's an established company with diversified revenue sources, or a company getting off the ground, the new offering process is a never ending exercise; in today's markets you need to either expand or die. One characteristic I run into when sorting this out with companies is an obsession around the uniqueness of the idea.
There's no room for The Idea Guy
Startups need people able and willing of doing the actual work. They need programmers, designers, and eventually folks to do marketing, support, and more. What they don’t need, though, is someone who’s just going to be The Idea Guy.Excerpt: Maxim Founder Felix Dennis on the Fallacy of Big Ideas - Jeff Bercovici - Mixed Media - Forbes
In addition to being a publisher, poet, planter of trees and polyamorist, Felix Dennis, founder of Maxim and The Week magazines, is simply one of the most entertaining people you could hope to converse with.
Il était une fois dans le monde merveilleux des startups qui créent des solutions et plateformes voulant changer le monde, de gentils fondateurs qui se font voler leur idée révolutionnaire par de méchants entrepreneurs qui font le même produit…Et après multiples péripéties et batailles, les gentils finissent par triompher et leur société est valorisée à des millions de dollars sur le marché. Ok, je m’arrête là.
Des idées tout le monde en a, le plus dur est de les mettre en œuvre
Ce que je Pense des Idées ?!
Tiens, je devais voir quelqu'un ce matin, mais la journée off d'hier m'a généré un backlog de quelques centaines d'email que je dois purger.
Based on my own experience and feedback from friends, every investor is approached by at least ten entrepreneurs with a “hot idea” for a new business, for every one who has a real “plan” for a new business.
Entrepreneurs Need Fewer Hot Ideas and More Plans
I love Silicon Valley. I love the entrepreneurial energy and the blister and pop of passion being painted into reality every day. But if entrepreneurial density is the Valley’s greatest asset, it can also, sometimes, be its greatest weakness.
Let’s End the Myth that Ideas are Worthless
Monday, August 2, 2010 Sometimes I ask people I know in my life who I believe would be good entrepreneurs, “have you thought about doing a startup?”
