Greetings Zimbabwean entrepreneurs,

Having a great idea can feel like the first step toward success - and it is. However, an idea alone is not enough to guarantee success in the competitive world of entrepreneurship..
 

Why a good idea is not enough

 WHY A GOOD IDEA IS NOT ENOUGH 

Many people have brilliant ideas but fail to act on them, leading to missed opportunities and regret. You must move beyond the idea stage, take action and execute your vision. Understanding that ideas are only the beginning can help you navigate the entrepreneurial journey with a proactive mindset and a focus on tangible outcomes. Realising that the market rewards execution rather than just ideation is important for turning dreams into reality. Read this week's ATLAS Venture Trove titled Why a good idea is not enough
