Do you know how the idea to launch process works

So you think you got a brilliant idea that will fly off the shelf? As the shreds of evidence surrounding us states, the idea alone isn't enough because 90% of startups fail. How do you think you can get your idea turned into a worthy product to fly off the shelves?
I have developed over 100 products including 57575 India's largest mobile VAS platform, Zee's Digital Assets Management Platform, DittoTV as India's first mobile TV service, AvaniTV as world's first 3G Car TV product and much more.
While working on those projects, I transitioned myself from being an ad-hoc innovator to the process-driven one. It helped me launch many products on time, within budget and delivered the planned outcome.
I thought of telling you the simple three step formula so that you can work on your idea using exactly the same process.
First: you need to ensure that you have a valuable problem worth solving. Your target customer should have emotional feelings about the problem you are solving. "Access to infotainment inside the car" was the problem people stated to me when I worked for avaniTV.
Second: Discuss your potential solution with an ideal customer segment to verify its value, iterate on the idea, and iterate on how you describe it to be a "great idea".
Third: Create a solution prototype to showcase to your real customer so that you can capture their feelings, emotions, and values.
