Ah well, enough of my made-up examples. Here are a few from the media:
1. Eight out of 10 ideas for a business or invention never see the light of day
New Year, new resolutions. Will you change your job, aim for promotion or start your own business? There are so many good intentions, but how often do we make that leap to starting our own business?
NESTA, the UK's largest early stage investor in innovative and creative businesses, commissioned research to find out why so few of our 'good ideas' make their way to the balance sheet.
The 'Fear of Failure Report' released by NESTA, reveals that nearly one in three (29%) people have had what they thought was a great business idea or invention but eight out of 10 of those didn't do a thing about it. When asked why, 61% said that they didn't know where to start, 67% claimed not to have sufficient funds and 33% just didn't have the time.

Bob, a smart man and gifted writer who cared deeply for Long Island, died a few months later, but his idea lives on.
