Felix Dennis Quotes

A great idea is not enough.

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.

It's important to have a sound idea, but the really important thing is the implementation.

I've seen every idea. Ideas are irrelevant. You are judged on execution, and the number 1 way to prove that you can execute is by executing.

Good ideas have no value because the world already has too many of them. The market rewards execution, not ideas.

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.

A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

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

Having an eye is one thing, but you have to be able to execute.

The best ideas are useless unless carried out.

A lot of the ideas for solving many of our problems are already in place, but ideas don’t travel.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

Vision without execution is delusion.

Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not.

An idea isn't worth much until a man is found who has the energy and ability to make it work.

A good idea is about ten percent and implementation and hard work, and luck is 90 percent.

When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.

Ideas are cheap. Ideas are easy. Ideas are common. Everybody has ideas. Ideas are highly, highly overvalued. Execution is all that matters.

Coming up with ideas isn't hard. The real challenge is finding the time to actually build something and then finding a home for it.

I've always been an idea person, so I've always been great at having ideas, just not having the resources to make them happen.

What makes success is not your genius idea, but the execution and follow-through around it

What is often lacking is not creativity in the idea-creating sense but innovation in the action-producing sense, i.e. putting ideas to work.

The fact was I had the vision... I think everyone has... what we lack is the method.

Our visions are the plans of the possible life structure, but they will end in plans if we do not follow them up with a vigorous effort to make them real, just as the architect's plans will end in his drawings if they are not followed up and made real by the builder.

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats.
