I feel there are no "idea guys". There surely are "money guys" - people who can _sell_ an idea and get investors, customers, loans, ... Those are important in my experience, and lots of famous CEOs are just that.
You can either become a money guy, or attract money guys. Money guys are typically looking for things they can sell, so that's one way to get one: Have a project or even just skills they can work with. If you want to become one, getting into marketing sounds like a good start.
I personally gave up on the idea that I can be great at building stuff _and_ selling stuff. My advise would be to try different things, see what you're truly passionate about, and accept the notion that you'll eventually need help with the other stuff.
- dinkleberg 4y agoI like this idea. Having ideas is necessary, but everyone has ideas. Just having ideas isn’t enough. In a joint venture you can’t be the idea guy, you’ve gotta be bringing something else to the table. Are you the money guy or the builder/doer? If you’re neither of those, you’re likely not a good fit.
