He's right about the idea being the launch pad, but it's more like the first step up an uncharted mountain. The "idea" is often left in the dust many times over as the business morph into something that the market likes, and those ideas can come from anywhere -- a person explaining it, an unrelated sign, a moment of frustration, whatever. That spark is like a drop in the ocean of execution. It's almost, but not quite worthless. It's worth a pat on the back, nothing else.
