You often hear about “The Idea” and “The Execution,” as if they were two different things.

However, executing your idea is, in itself, a progression of ideas.

You have an idea and you feel it’s a great idea. You feel happy, elated, and you have an urge to immediately do something about it.

Is there a connection between your emotions about your idea, and its potential for success?

“If you can fix a problem with money, it's not really a problem.” ― Kim Kardashian

This is true, up to a point. The difficulty is... defining the problem.

The iPod is a more complex example. It was a hugely successful portable music player. Why was that?
