Thomas Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. Every day new solutions, revolutionary cures, and artistic breakthroughs are conceived and squandered by smart people. Along with the gift of creativity come the obstacles to making ideas happen: lack of organisation, lack of accountability and a lack of community support.
Scott Belsky has interviewsed hundreds of the most productive creative people and teams in the world, revealing one common trait: a carefully trained capacity for executing ideas. Implementing your ideas is a skill that can be taught, and Belsky distills the core principles in this book.
While many of us obsess about discovering great new ideas, Belsky shows why it is better to develop the capacity to make ideas happen - using old-fashioned passion and perspiration. Making Ideas Happen reveals the practical yet counterintuitive techniques of 'serial creatives' - those few who make their visions a reality.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
'Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard. This book helps you with the hard part'
Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple and author of The Art of the Start
Edison famously said that genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration. Ideas for new businesses, solutions to the world's problems, and artistic breakthroughs are common, but great execution is rare. While most books tell you how to release your creative potential, Scott Belsky shows that success is not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen.
According to Belsky, ideas don't happen because they are great - or by accident. Creative success is a matter of rethinking methods and increasing focus, while rewarding old-fashioned passion and perspiration. This bestselling book reveals the three steps vital to making any idea happen: getting organised, collaborating, and leading effectively.
There are too many ideas in the world, and not enough action. Here, at last, is a systematic approach to creative organisation and productivity.
'This is a book about execution, and execution is everything'
John Battelle, co-founder of WIRED and BoingBoing
