The Problem with Ideas

I'm not saying that you have to have a totally profound knowledge of the subject of your idea, but you should be at least interested enough to make a huge personal effort to acquire a deep knowledge. Why? because you have no chance in hell of succeeding if you don't know what you are talking about.
Hands-off ideas people do not derserve success in my book: the idea is not the thing, the implementation is, and you don't get to lead if you can't take part in/understand the implementation.
If there is one lesson that business in "The Silicon Valley Era" should teach us - it's this lesson.
