Pete Cashmore Quotes

Vision without execution is delusion.

It's important to have a sound idea, but the really important thing is the implementation.

I've seen every idea. Ideas are irrelevant. You are judged on execution, and the number 1 way to prove that you can execute is by executing.

Great execution is at least 10 times more important and a 100 times harder than a good idea.

A great idea is not enough.

Ideas are cheap. The difficult part is finding the team to execute them.

I always love that phrase, 'Oh, this is a good idea, but it's execution dependent.' As if anything in life is not execution dependent. Breathing is execution-dependent.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.

Our visions are the plans of the possible life structure, but they will end in plans if we do not follow them up with a vigorous effort to make them real, just as the architect's plans will end in his drawings if they are not followed up and made real by the builder.

Once you articulate an agenda, you have to follow it.

I'm very much a creative person, but you've got to do the follow-through. A lot of people start out with an exciting thing and they want to take over the world, but really the people who do take over the world have a good plan of how to get there and the steps along the way.

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.

It is not always what we know or analyzed before we make a decision that makes it a great decision. It is what we do after we make the decision to implement and execute it that makes it a good decision.

Having an eye is one thing, but you have to be able to execute.

The best ideas are useless unless carried out.

A lot of the ideas for solving many of our problems are already in place, but ideas don’t travel.

Without execution, 'vision' is just another word for hallucination.

I'm all in favour of grand important speeches, but the president then has to link his sermons to a strategy.

I had ideas. A lot were good, but in many ways, I had no idea or experience about how to carry them out.

For every philosophical idea about how we're going to do things, there has to be a plan to get there, and we have to be able to execute it, first in practice and then in games.

As a mayor, my instinct is to really think about how to get something done and not to make the promise unless you have some view of the pathway. You don't have to have it all figured out, but you have to have a pathway there.

Potential is just potential until you can pull it off, and you need to show up ready to exercise the plan in mind. I've always come from that place in everything I've ever done.

We're not going to talk about what we're going to accomplish, we're going to talk about how we're going to do it.
