Or... hold it! Chuck! I got it! Take LIVE tuna fish, and FEED 'em mayonnaise! Oh this is great!” -Bill from the movie “Night Shift”
- 5. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting The Value of Ideas Ideas can change the world, BUT, only if they are backed up by EXECUTION.
- 6. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting The Value of Execution • Until you start to execute, an idea is just that, and there is plenty of reason to doubt it. • You need to erase that doubt… • The “realer” an idea gets, the more valuable it becomes
- 7. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Execution Requires Motivation • Executing an idea can be work, you need motivation to keep you going if it gets tedious or scary • Money alone is not enough
- 8. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting What is your motivation? • How will your idea change the world? • Whose life will be better? • What’s in it for you besides money & celebrity?

- 16. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Stay Flexible The execution of your idea may change a lot as it unfolds. You may need to reexamine your plan, or even your goal!
- 17. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Why? • Louis & Clark knew where they were going, not how to get there… • Columbus was looking for India… • Pasteur’s experiments were “ruined” by penicillin…
- 18. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Next Step • Sometimes, like Louis & Clark, a detailed map is not available, you just need a goal and a Next Step…
- 19. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Next Step • When in doubt, think about your goal, and think of one or two steps that can move you a little closer. Do that, then reevaluate
- 20. Copyright © 2011 | Dark Matter Consulting Iterate Every so often, go through the steps again: Review your idea, motivation, vision of success, goals (& goal-tracking system), team, and next steps, then get moving again.

- Mention the new toy, inspired by a talk I saw at SxSW. Those of you who know my work, now I like to take risks, this is one…
- Economist joke The risk-free, work-free ideas have pretty much all been done….
- I’m a PhD linguist, I can make up words if I want to…
- Take a moment and answer these questions, I’ll wait….. Ask yourself, when I’m tired, when I’ve maxed out my credit cards, when my spouse is yelling at me, will this be enough to keep me going?
- Take a moment and answer this question. Don’t worry, you can revise it later if you need to, and it does NOT need to be perfect…
- Or is it ?? Give examples? You may need to ask this question several times and you may need to get creative here… Henry Ford’s vision was a car in every garage! If your goal is to cancer, that’s easy, you have succeeded when no one has cancer. If your goal is to eat healthy local food, success may mean that you get half your food budget from the farmer’s market. If your vision is not insanely concrete, ask this question now, and again if necessary.
- So you need a way to track progress.
- Tracking what has been done helps you to stay motivated and to learn. Tracking what remains to be done let’s you focus your efforts.
- Just some ideas to get you started…
- This is a great turning point. Very few ideas come to life by themselves. You may need additional help. In addition to the accountability partner mentioned on the previous page, you may need additional help. Take a moment and think about who might fill each of these roles. They may or may not need to be compensated, and even if they are, you may be able to compensate in ways other than cash, perhaps trade, or referrals, or introductions, or practice in a new field.
