Why didn’t I think of this?

Seth Godin is remarkable. Check out this post.

My first reaction to great ideas like this from Godin is usually “Wow. I should start doing this right now.” But the problem is that this idea isn’t a hot tip I got from him at a dinner party or on the train or in a meeting. I read it on his blog, just like thousands of others people. There goes my edge…

But is that really the case? How many people take great ideas that come from the musings of Godin and other bloggers and actually set them into motion. Is it because we’re lazy? Is it because (like me) we think someone else will get there first or do it better?

Today, hesitation equals giving up. Sometimes the best thing is just to go for it and figure out the details on the way.
