I would argue that what matter over the idea is the the vision you have and how you will pursue it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how Jeff Bezos express it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It&#8217;s easy to have ideas. <\/p><p>It&#8217;s very hard to turn ideas into a successful product. There are a lot of steps in between and it takes persistence and relentlessness. So I always tell people who think I want to be entrepreneurs: you need a combination of <strong>stubborn<\/strong> <strong>relentlessness<\/strong> and <strong>flexibility<\/strong>. And you have to know when to be which. <\/p><p>Basically you need to be <strong>stubborn<\/strong> on your vision otherwise it will be too easy to give up. <\/p><p>But you need to be very <strong>flexible<\/strong> on the details, because as you go along pursuing your vision you will find that some of your preconceptions were&nbsp; wrong and you&#8217;re going to need to be able to change those things. <\/p><p>Taking an idea successfully all the way to the market and turning it into a real product, that people care about, that really improves people&#8217;s lives, is a lot of hard work.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@endlessvalue\/video\/6872428183224864005?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@endlessvalue\/video\/6872428183224864005?lang=en<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"928\" src=\"https:\/\/debane.org\/franck\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-bezos-idea-1024x928.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debane.org\/franck\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-bezos-idea-1024x928.png 1024w, https:\/\/debane.org\/franck\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-bezos-idea-300x272.png 300w, https:\/\/debane.org\/franck\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-bezos-idea-768x696.png 768w, https:\/\/debane.org\/franck\/wp-content\/uploads\/jeff-bezos-idea.png 1057w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ideas are seen as the starting point of successful businesses.
