Edit: for those who haven’t seen this before (talking to you idea guys), I was shared this formula by one of the top VCs in New York almost 10 years ago.

“ The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20.

The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000.

That’s why I don’t want to hear people’s ideas.

I’m not interested until I see their execution. “

I’ve since heard this referenced and repeated by numerous successful entrepreneurs.

Let me know if you disagree.

When it comes to ideas and execution, Derek Siver's multiplication guide is quite the "North Star" in helping entrepreneurs to orient themselves guesstimate if they are on the right path.
