It applies to anyone trying to get something real done. I'm a founding member of a non profit. The past year the leader of our group has been proposing one "hot" idea after another, yet our organization hasn't really seen much growth. finally, at our 2008 planning meeting I had to really bring the issue to the forefront and make a case that our weakness has been in the execution. You have to make it happen. Absolutely have to, otherwise ideas are like supernova's - look great in a picture but really don't mean much to you in any other respect. Clate,

If you do it as an entrepreneur still employed "in their cushy corporate job:, then the corporation owns the IP. It's the entrepreneurs willing to show their spouse that they not only have a plan, but the will to execute it and a willing customer base. I have failed before by following a "Ready, Fire, Aim!" approach. This time around I made sure there were customers ready to buy the product before it even existed.
