(don't know where I got this...)

Ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.

  Explanation:
  AWFUL IDEA           -1
  WEAK IDEA             1
  SO-SO IDEA            5
  GOOD IDEA            10
  GREAT IDEA           15
  BRILLIANT IDEA       20
  
  NO EXECUTION         $1
  WEAK EXECUTION       $1000
  SO-SO EXECUTION      $10,000
  GOOD EXECUTION       $100,000
  GREAT EXECUTION      $1,000,000
  BRILLIANT EXECUTION  $10,000,000
To make a business, you need to multiply the two.

The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20.

The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.

That’s why I don’t want to hear people’s ideas.

I’m not interested until I see their execution.
