Robert G. Allen Quotes

There's a big difference between saying you are for something and saying how you're going to achieve it.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

A great idea is not enough.

Ideas are cheap. The difficult part is finding the team to execute them.

I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.

I'm very much a creative person, but you've got to do the follow-through. A lot of people start out with an exciting thing and they want to take over the world, but really the people who do take over the world have a good plan of how to get there and the steps along the way.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

The team that gets to play to their plan is usually the team that has the most success.
