Ideas and execution are set in different dimensions. A good and executable idea is very rare. It can take a long time to select it out. Execution has more known rules, and a bad idea is harder to execute 😀

Execution is everything and it's the hard part. Everyone's had a million dollar idea in their head that they never executed on.

"The moment where you even start doubting whether you can trust someone or not, you have no trust." "The number one reason why most organizations break down — and why you need processes and all the bureaucracies — is ultimately because there's no trust. If you had 100% trust you wouldn't need any of this stuff and you would move much faster. Why is that so rare? Because it doesn't scale. Trust really compounds — but you gain maybe 1% per positive interaction. And it takes one bad interaction to ruin all of it." — Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek (Daniel Ek)
