Ideas Don't Make You Rich
"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).
