A great idea is incredibly valuable. In fact the idea is the key to great success.
However, it is true that without great execution, timing and luck, a great idea will go nowhere.
Trouble is there are many people who have heard "ideas are worth nothing" and failed to understand that the full sentence is "ideas are worth nothing without execution" - that is certainly true, but it is a totally different statement to "ideas are worth nothing".
