"Ideas don't make you rich. The correct execution of ideas does."
So says Felix Dennis, poet, owner of Dennis Publishing, and one of the wealthiest self-made entrepreneurs in Britain.
I met him several years ago when he gave generously to support a project I helped with at the National Library for the Blind, though he didn't say this to me when we met. I just read it in his book 'How to Get Rich'.
I agree with him, totally. In my experience as a business adviser to creative people and businesses, there is certainly no shortage of great ideas. But making them happen is a totally different matter and it needs different skills and attitude. For an idea to make you rich it requires not only creativity (the T-Shirt) but also business acumen (the Suit).
