The hard lesson I learnt during my journey to launch my own startup and get successful was the following. Apparently idea itself is nothing. Most of the time as an immature startuper we tend to be afraid to share our ideas with someone thinking that it can be stolen. It can't be. If it would, there is no guarantee that that person can execute it. So I say, idea is probably 10% of the chance, but execution defines the success of the project in 90% of the time. By execution I mean your ability to develop the product, find the team or cofounders, get the first customers and convince the investors. There are so many things where you can fail while executing it. So next time before starting your next big idea, think for a moment whether you are the person to execute it. Are you capable of taking it to the next level. And getting realistic about it is the really hardest thing.
