Build something, or find somebody to build it. If the idea really is good, then you might be able to find a developer who'll work on it for partnership -- this is, in my opinion, another good way to get validation for the idea. The other trick though, is figuring out what you bring to the table. Can you market it? Can you sell it? Can you raise venture capital? What can you do? Imagine a scenario in which I have two people, capable of all the potential in the world, pitching me an idea. Imagine that I have a machine that can either add value to an idea, or add value to the business side of things -- whichever side I add value to, decreases it from the other side proportionally -- ie, if I add 25% of the 'value of the idea', I am subtracting from the 'business-management capabilities' by 25%. In the end -- and forgive me, I just realized how dumb this hypothetical of mine is, but now I'm pretty much pot committed -- I end up with two idea guys -- one who has 25% better business acumen, and another with an idea that is 25% better -- I'm picking the first guy. Alternately, of course, you can bootstrap, hire people, yadda yadda -- I'm guessing this isn't an option, as you haven't already done it. But if the idea is SO GREAT that the only thing between you and success is the implementation, then get started implementing it, by whatever means you can muster.
