I'm now going to defend the value of ideas, I believe it has merit, and few comments have picked up on it yet.

SOME ideas from SOME people are valuable, it is immediately obvious of their value.

Anyone can think they have a great idea. Even non ideas people, who get just one idea - and think it is great. Steve said you have to get many ideas and spend lots of time before finding one good one. This is work! Ideas work!! But there is much more to ideas work than this. E.g. You need to become skilled at selecting your good ideas, looking at problems in new ways, seeing what others are missing - as this is where great ideas are often found.

As readers of this blog will know, thinking your idea is great when it is not is a mistake of the consciousness level of pride. I.e. not wanting to listen to advice / learn from people / take in all facts objectively / feeling hurt if people have a go at your idea / ignoring what was said and carrying on with your viewpoint / belief. But we are as we are, and if you are there now, that is ok, just learn and do what you can step by step. No level of consciousness is superior, they all have their challenges to learn, and this is always done in the now, the moment.

As pride is common right now - there are far more people with bad ideas trying to be sold than good ideas. Having said that you can see from American Inventor, that good ideas do happen, and these are instantly obvious to a professional investor / people with objective common sense.

People that get these should be careful of who they tell them to. As others may have the sense to see their value, pick up on them, and be the ones that reap the rewards. Will they mention where they got their idea from, unlikely. We all rest upon the shoulders of giants, and many of these were great thinkers / ponders / ideas people. But all great thinkers have to at some point put their ideas into action. And this is what is useful in this post. A wake up call for ideas people conscious enough to listen.

People who already naturally go into action (sensate types) will learn little from this blog. It may actually be harmful to them. As there are different types of people, some made to create the ideas, some to implement the details, and yet others to keep running the ideas / system once it has settled. We need to understand this and respect the value of ALL types of people. Nothing would have been done in this world without either of them. It is mostly creative types I am talking to here, the type that can make a big difference if they get it right. Don't over-react and listen to those that are certain you have to rush into things and spend most of your time doing details (that you don't like doing but they do). Just think balance. Am I being an eternal student is always a good question to ask.

The creators need to work out how to sell their concepts (and that they have a market in the first place!). This is essential. There is a balance between production and production capacity.

Plus creators should not sacrifice their lives in the name of an idea to give value, they can live now, and work out how to start getting results from their ideas immediately. As Steve realized when he started this very blog.
