It's easy to come up with ideas. Hard to come up with good ideas. Almost impossible to come up with the killer ideas.

- joe_the_user 18y agoI don't think that it is possible for an idea to be a "killer idea" until it reaches execution phase. But then, it is no longer an idea but a combination of idea and execution. There might be some ideas that just make money entirely by themselves. They are far less common than businesses that make money hand-over-fist. And these are less common than ordinary successful businesses and these are outnumbered by people think they have great ideas for making money ....
- whughes 18y agoObviously an idea requires execution to be profitable, but there are ideas where less effort is required for execution. Those would be what I would consider the 'killer ideas.' If you have something totally new that can take the world by storm and there's no competition, that's different from breaking into an established market.
- lyime 18y agothats definitely not true. It's not hard to come up with good ideas. It's difficult to execute on them. My dad has good ideas for startups all the time. Although I wouldn't call him an entrepreneur. It takes a lot of work to build. Although, I really appreciate builders, even if the the idea is not fully thought out.
