in 1960"s J.C.R. Licklider
never built the internet himself.
He only wrote the idea down — “a galactic network.”
But that single idea was so powerful that it inspired teams of engineers, governments, and innovators to build an entire digital world that today holds over 5 billion people.
He had the idea.
Others built the empire.
💼 Business Lesson
In business, the person with the clearest vision often becomes more powerful than the person with the most skills.
Licklider wasn’t the best engineer.
He wasn’t the one writing the code.
He wasn’t even the one managing the servers.
But he had what most entrepreneurs lack:
👉 A vision so clear that it pulled talent toward him.
In business, this means:
You don’t have to know everything.
You don’t have to be the best at ex*****on.
You just need a vision so strong that others want to follow it.
Ideas don’t make you successful —
but a direction that attracts the right people does.
