An amazing idea without actions is still just an idea. It does not solve any real-world problems, it does not bring customers, it does not generate income.
A half-decent idea with great execution can still be a very decent business. It solves problems, it has customers, it pays the bills.
Everyone can have great ideas. In fact, most people probably have one or more great ideas loitering around in their heads. But those ideas are only brain-fluff until they are executed, until action happens.
So, if you have a great idea, allocate a few hours every week to work with your idea. Take action and help the idea turn into reality.

For the week that’s in it….. Xerox developed the mouse after Doug Englebart invented it…. But Steve Jobs spotted the potential and made it a reality! I’d add ‘perseverance’ in with ‘action’! As Edison said of his many attempts at making lightbulbs … “I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”

Good point!
And no-one better than Steve Jobs to bring an idea into reality. His attention to detail meant the end product/service was easy to use, nice to look at, solved real-world problems, etc.
