The problem with good ideas

The problem with good ideas

ONCE UPON A TIME I really wanted to be on the telly. I even had an agent and made a couple of pilots.

It didn’t happen (I’m delighted).

One day I met the head of a major TV production company and arrived prepared with an array of amazing TV show ideas.

After 15 minutes of furious pitching, he stopped me.

‘Michael, these are all great but we’ve got good ideas coming out of our ar***s. We need talent and execution’.

True.

Everyone can have a bunch of good ideas.
Taking action and turning them into something. That’s the skill.

What would you rather have - 5 great ideas sitting on the shelf or one reasonable idea brilliantly executed?

I know what I’d like.
Make it happen.
