I discovered Sir. John Doerr yesterday and I've be surfing the internet to learn more from him. He is an oasis of knowledge. I would be following him closely till in become better, like him and the zenith.
'John Doerr: Ideas are easy, execution is everything' Execution translates the idea into practical reality, does it follows that execution is everything. Now imagine the idea is easy and wrong, execution still everything? Imagine another scenario, two people with two different easy ideas. One is locate in Ethiopia in the Tigray region and the other person is locate in Geneva. To what extent execution is everything? Since you must execute in a structure, Tigray being a structure affected by a deadly conflict, execution can't be everything in this case. The specificity of the structure can be a condition of impossibility for execution
potentially extremely significant unique value. great session despite this glitch: someone invited John Doerr without providing fresh new whiteboard markers. uh, really?
I think this tool is great but you have to be really careful to separate ideation from analytics. Google suffers from "let's see the data" and can't really come up with new ideas is only able to make things slightly better...
Ideas are easy--and so is self belief--takes nothing at all. Because there is ground base reality to consider as well. Not every strategy is a good one. I've heard many times--"if you believe enough you will be successful." That is not accurate. Like running to LA to become that actor with no backup plan. Luck is a huge factor in that fair or not, that is a reality. The idea that self belief is what makes the success driven successful is only a small part of the equation. The guru will tell you the universe aligns with you with self belief. Not true. Self belief + plan of action that is researched + massive effort----that is what makes success and sometimes ill luck causes failure as well. Most of the gurus, great or small say the same thing I tell my own subscribers--you have to plan well and engage in effort and constantly re-evaluate what is working and what isn't. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles
