YOU are the Idea

Typical conversations about entrepreneurship center on ideas, products, and services. That one person has found a glitch in the system of commerce and is on the edge of making millions with their idea. Let me say something hard. Your idea is not that good; you are.
What Makes the Difference
Do you think if the iPhone were your idea you would have had the same success as Steve Jobs? Do you believe if Netflix were your idea you would have achieved the same results? The answer is no. Few people understand that an idea is only as powerful as the person carrying it and expressing it to the world. YOU are the idea.
The Value of YOU
When you stop looking for a great idea and start working on becoming a better human being, something odd happens. Some of your average ideas land as genius to others. Let me put it this way: a great athlete in the wrong system will never win a championship. An average player in the right system can win many championships. Your idea is the athlete; you are the system.
Refine YOU
Refine your listening skills, your presentation skills, and your storytelling skills. Learn to show up authentically with joy and intellect. Learn to transfer your integrity through the feel of your handshake, and watch how many more people start to believe in your ideas.
