Your idea is probably good enough

[Gale4rc]

I used to put really high value on the idea itself because it seems like if you build something that's a great idea it should just explode.

What I've come to realize (which may or may not be true) is that it's really not about the idea at all. Most peoples ideas are actually pretty good. Where most people go wrong is in executing the idea and not iterating on it from customer feedback.

When you get an idea and build it for the first time, for SaaS products at least... For most of us it's always going to be bad. It gets good from improving over time and listening to your customers.

IMO to make a idea really work all you need is a market and to provide some type of actual value. There's a lot of products out there that when started, it didn't fill a need at all but they grinded away knowing the value they gave and eventually created a need themselves.

When I see a lot of ideas on this forum I often find myself thinking "Oh, yeah ... I could see that working actually." ... I think we need to put less emphasis on the ideas themselves and more emphasis onto
1. actually building them - not a landing page.
2. iterating and constantly improving them.
3. making sure there's a market that you can attack relentlessly.

If the idea is really not as important as we think it is, then we should stop coming up with ideas for random industries and focus on building ideas that align with our interests so we can move forward passionately and endlessly.

What do you guys think?
