But what do you mean by Genius is 1 % inspiration and 99 % transpiration.

Seriously though, really great advice that I've been trying to do myself the past few weeks.

For example, i dont code, but i understand the technology and how it works. I know who to hire to build what my business/new idea needs. There are entrepreneurs working on web apps and services that dont code and dont need 4 months to have a great idea and launch it. For example, Digg was built by a freelancer on Elance, i listend to audio where Kevin said he didnt have time to refresh his coding skills. Carsonified in the UK also outosourced a lot of work and are doing amazingly well. My point is that its not as simple as you cant code=fail, you can code=you have a chance. Thanks, Hope you are enjoying PB Wiki, Hey Jessica,

I started out without any knowledge and thus was lured by the reseller and affiliate crowd, and then wondered why i could not create added value. I did learn what i needed that way, but it took two years. Two years i could have been doing much, much better. Now I launched another idea based on stuff I do know, something that I tested months ago, something people email me for to ask advice. This feels totally different, and quite frankly, profits and results already are higher than my, admittedly abysmal, expectations. The lesson I learned was that ideas are not everything. To be a cliché, Einstein said: brilliance is 1 % inspiration, 99 % transpiration. I could not agree more.
