Ideas vs Execution in Hollywood and Startups.

By on April 1st, 2010 3 Comments

Ideas are cheap. Execution is hard.

Great video clip from Entourage here sent to me by Lesley-Ann which now sits along side Coffee is for Closers amongst my regular watching playlist in Youtube. It’s like a mini-seminar.

Turtle: “I’ve got a great idea.”

Ari: Hits a stack of scripts. “So do all these idiots. Can you execute?”

We see a lot of entrepreneurs at Pollenizer. Probably 30-40 per week. Openly, it’s one in ten that can execute. Yes, we see them early, but it’s still a sad truth.

Love it. Highly recommended for anyone with an idea.
