Do you need any ideas? I have a billion of them come to me all the time, like I can't turn it off. Ideas for how to improve things, business ideas, marketing ideas, investing ideas, fun ideas, serious ideas. It's nonstop. Ask me anything and I'll come up with 20 ways XYZ/ABC/Anything You Want.

But the problem is that I'm not action oriented, I much prefer and enjoy discussing and sharing ideas. I love reading and learning. But I get bored quickly. I don't follow through with my plans or ideas. I've started and failed at so many things it's embarrassing.

I think this goes beyond "Just do it, never quit, the problem is you're a quitter." I think it's more fundamental than that. I HAVE to have fresh ideas. I have a literal disgust for distasteful, repetitive, or non-stimulating work.

Do you know of anyone who's been to make a career out of a "talent" like mine? What do they do? Ideally I'd like to sell my ideas or work with someone who can be the "action person". I would kill to be with a team that needed my kind of mind.

Ideas?
