and pps: nobody wants idea persons. Being an idea person is just another way of saying you have no skills. Having ideas is not a skill, and thinking your ideas

  Thanks for the advise, although I disagree with you when you say 'Having ideas is not a skill'. Having idea's is a massive skill and I found this out when working on two great startup. Coders who just code, simply could not think out of the scope of their languages and coding skills, hence they create a great product, but could not think of a single way to monetize it/improve the design aspects of it. I sat back and watched an entire team of very talented coders and PM's battle it out in the board room and yest, no result. I don't think am brilliant, in fact ATM, the exact opposite, am hitting a very depressive time and don't think much of myself at all, but I do remember that day very clearly and when the arguing stopped I simply said, How about we do this and see how we got on, not one person including the founders, had though of it and not one of them disagreed. Anyone out there who has idea's should consider this a massive asset and I encourage it greatly in all types of work places. Too many thinks are done, because "we've always dont it this way". Not all idea's are great either and one should know this when throwing idea's to a group of people, accepted criticism is a massive part of being an 'idea person' Again, thanks for the advise above.
