Most businesses fail. Far more never get off the ground.
Sara Blakely, the legendary founder of Spanx, got her idea when she cut the feet off a set of control top pantyhose so that she could wear a pair of tight white pants without showing panty lines.
She wasn’t the first women to do this.
Sara Blakely is now worth over $1.1 billion, while all the women who cut the feet off their pantyhose before her are worth a fraction of that.
Having a good idea doesn’t mean that you have a good business. What matters is your ability to execute on that idea and turn it into profit.
