Ideas are worthless without implementation

“Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless.” Those were the words of Mary Kay Ash, the legendary American businesswoman and founder of the hugely successful Mary Kay Cosmetics company. And she should know! Having built her business from the ground up, she created a global empire which, when she died, had more than $1.2 billion in sales and an international sales force of more than eight hundred thousand in at least three dozen countries, plus a personal fortune of $98 million. What separates entrepreneurs from the rest of the world is that they know how to make ideas real - how to turn that spark into a full-blown business. They put in the long hours, the hard work, the investment into turning those ideas into what they hope will be viable businesses. Anyone can have an idea, but implementing that idea is what very few people do - that’s why entrepreneurs are a breed apart!
