“Ideas are eons away from products and products are eons away from a viable business.” –Dr. Yulun Wang, founder of InTouch Health.
Eons away.
Have you ever had a great idea and never wanted to share it with anyone for fear of the idea being stolen? It is your idea. You don’t want anyone going off and building it out before you are able. So you keep the idea to yourself. You share it with only a few of the people closest to you and request even they keep it in confidence. Then you wake up five years later and the idea is still an idea. No serious product or even project has come out of it. The only thing that happened in the interim is a couple more people in your sphere know about this “brilliant” idea.
