Entrepreneurship Comes Down to Execution, Not Just Ideas

I agree with much of this and applaud your focus on the substance of success rather than just the form. You are right that it is better to think of being entrepreneurial rather than "an entrepreneur." Also right that ideas are only valuable when actually executed. I would like to add that even ideas plus execution do not necessarily equal success. The ideas have to be good ideas in the first place. The ideas must be designed to solve problems for people, relieve pain, for their execution to have any impact on the world whatsoever. Moreover--they have to solve problem for every stakeholder group. A good idea for a business is like a three-dimensional polyhedron, with a facet for every stakeholder group. It solves multiple problems for multiple groups. So, GOOD idea plus execution equals success.
