The value of something with no buyers is zero. Go try to sell an idea, by itself. You'll fail.

This article somewhat confuses "good" with "actionable". I had some good business ideas when I was young. I know they were good because companies later succeeded with that business plan. I just couldn't enact them.

If ideas had a non-zero value, then even as a 13 year old, I could have gone to the idea market and sold them. You'll find there are no buyers however.




You did see that I said it was critical that the idea must be able to be executed by you to be a good idea. Any idea you can't do is by definition a bad idea.


No, any idea you can't do, is an idea you can't do. That doesn't make it good or bad. It just means you can't be the one to enact it.
