"I love thinking through problems."
"I'm definitely a vision guy. I ask way too many questions, but I'm extremely good at throwing away useless information and working out a way to solve something, to get somewhere, to chose a path that will likely work."
From these quotes alone I can see what "career" you are most likely fit for: an entrepreneur.
Think of a problem, think of how you can solve it, think how solving this problem would lead to benefits (profit).
Now, you don't need to dread the word "execution" because I am not going to use it in relation to you. Rather, think back to what you said:
"It requires someone else to put the solution into effect."
Delegate to others for execution. I work with people who are ultimately much more smarter than me, but what separates me from them is that I can bind together the individual outputs of all members of our group into our unified goal.
Learn the art of the persuasion and negotiation (and this can only be learned by taking place in reality, not in your head). This is the most important thing in the beginning - how are you going to get others to follow you into the unknown?
- tstegart 18y agoAnd thats exactly what drew me to entrepreneurship in the first place. I love learning about it. I have notebooks full of business plans, product ideas, silly problems I've tried to solve (how to monetize twitter anyone :) T-shirt ideas, marketing plans, brand strategies. Almost all of them unfinished. I love the idea of putting a vision into action with the help of other people. But I understand I can't skip steps. You don't get to be at the top without showing you can bust your ass as a grunt. Sometimes I think I should start a company and just hang a sign on the door saying "Problem solver." Then tell people to name a problem and a price they'd pay to have it solved, and I'd call them when I've got it figured out. Seriously, its kind of a dream job.
