Hi All,
I can see myself spending a lot of time here. To be honest I can use the inspiration. Although I have managed some success, and am managing to be self-employed from my business (building and running web communities similar to this site), I do feel a bit defeated lately. I'm an 'idea' guy, which is somewhat of a curse. My mind never stops generating ideas (everything from products to web, apps etc), it's even hard to sleep and I probably have 5-10 novel ideas pop into my head daily, which I know could make vast sums of money. However, whatever gene there is which makes some able to implement big ideas and build the business, well I don't seem to have it. What makes matters worse is VC wants to invest in 'people' and not ideas, so the world of the 'idea man' is quite depressing. So here I sit in a sort of entrepreneurial purgatory, where I have regular big ideas but can only actually implement the smaller scale ones I can grind out myself. I'd feel a lot better to know if some here are in the same boat!
Thanks
