Pete Cashmore Quotes

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

Vision without execution is delusion.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

A great idea is not enough.

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.

One man of tolerable Abilities may work great Changes, and accomplish great Affairs among Mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and … makes the execution of that same plan his sole Study and Business.

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

You can have X's and O's, you can have talent, but if you don't have a vision, it won't work.

A good idea is about ten percent and implementation and hard work, and luck is 90 percent.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

Sound strategy starts with having the right goal.

First of all, you've got to have a vision of 'What kind of program do I want to have?' Then you've got to have a plan to implement it. Then you've got to set the example that you want, develop the principles and values that are important, and get people to buy into it.

Personal excellence can be achieved by a visionary goal, through planning, dedicated execution, and total follow-through.

Hope is not strategy. Hope fits with vision, but we must have a strategy and a process to make our vision become a reality.

Everything depends upon execution; having just a vision is no solution.

What makes success is not your genius idea, but the execution and follow-through around it

In the end, a vision without the ability to execute it is probably a hallucination.

I learned how to order my thoughts, and most important, learned how to develop a plan. I discovered the power of a plan. If you can plan it out, and it seems logical to you, you can do it. And that was the secret to success.

The fact was I had the vision... I think everyone has... what we lack is the method.

Success doesn't sneak up on us; it starts as a dream that we combine with a clear plan of action.

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.

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

We've plotted through the years of how to get to here, where we are now, or we would have never made it.

I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through - then follow through.

We all have ambitions, but only the few achieve. A man thinks of a good thing and says: 'Now if I only had the money I'd put that through.' The word 'if' was a dent in his courage. With character fully established, his plan well thought out, he had only to go to those in command of capital and it would have been forthcoming.
