Those ideas may be important. but they aren't valuable. Valuable ideas are protectable. Valuable ideas are quite often, unique and relatively secret(for example, secret in your industry). Often valuable ideas are not just a one liner. That's just lazy. But they're a deep, complex understanding about something. Valuable ideas allow great amplification of execution, where a small amount execution can create large rewards. And let's say you're just mediocre at execution. But you have valuable ideas, often. Couldn't you join a startup, help it succeed and possibly rewarded handsomely ? Couldn't you join a big co., and become a very useful employee and be rewarded for it ?
