Data is all….
We are so excited by innovation that we do not often spend enough time validating the idea…
Focus on data… if you want to do something, is there adequate empirical data that you can bring in substantiating your ideas… are there case studies telling you what was done, what worked, what did not work… And are you able to correlate that data with your particular situation? More importantly, if you actually did do your research before stepping in… are you applying those data points and the knowledge that was gained, to your idea???
This is what will define the successful from the not so successful, a lot more than the sheer genius of the idea itself or the precision of execution….
Focus on data… develop the smarts to interpret and use it for your specific case… You will be successful!!!
