I recently stumbled upon an entrepreneur speaking class where the co-founder of LegalZoom.com mentioned that execution is more important than the idea. He mentioned that he knows someone who started diapers.com in 2005. In 2009, it had revenues of $182.5 million and was listed as an Inc 500 company. Of course, it is operated under Quidsi LLC, which owns 2 or 3 other websites like soap.com. But it is mind-boggling that all that is being sold is baby care products. The idea isn't even revolutionary.

He went on to mention that there are few companies that succeed that have great ideas only. The best thing is to have a good to great idea where there's a large market.

How do y'all supposed he differentiated himself?
