The man below me, "fumetti" is Michael the Rochester guy aka Michael Meggison from myspace. He is now stalking Sean Percival. He is a menace to society and a danger to anyone who comes in contact with him. He has a long history of stalking people on the internet and being fired from jobs for threats to co workers. Please protect yourself Sean

Ha ha!

All those crappy businesses and spamming led to My Space - that's really cool.

Persistence is to be admired here indeed!!!

yea is so true

So how do we avoid being one of those skilled people with great ideas who work hard to no avail?

My answer is to learn from those who succeeded.

What's yours?

[itekisan]

Well... I see some big fallacy here.

Sure, those who made it big, did smaller things before.

But it is a fallacious conclusion that in turn, by doing lots of things you are guaranteed to hit it big one day.

You MAY increase your chances, but then as well you may not. It's more about good luck - and/or knowing the right people. To a degree also to have skills and/or a brilliant idea. But most skilled people with great ideas I see working hard all life to no avail.

I will second that; I think many great thinkers have awesome ideas; but they may not be business orientated; meaning they don't know how to implement the idea forcefully to make it a real tangible thing. ie - to bring the vision down. You realize that these "ideas" are floating around and receptive minds - ie thinkers can "pick up" these ideas but making them a reality takes faith and preserverence along with the business know how and experience. And this video is a good testament to learning.

Yeah. How many ideas did these guys copy from other people?

Andrew, enjoyed the clip here... I believe that any idea will take persistence. We may have one BIG idea - but we can still "throw things at the wall" just to get a start in the right direction. I think really good ideas are not that hard to come by but implementation and resourcing take much more effort. Thanks for the video!

[mixergy]

Yup. Implementation is the real test.

Too many people are proud of their idea, as if coming up with an idea is an accomplishment.

It's the achievement that's the worthy of pride.
