I think a bigger problem than not being smart is having more than one idea over time; the new one supplants the old. I once struggled to explain to a top-notch guy what I did for the company we knew. "Ah", he said, "you're a problem solver", and he was right. Then it varied from people popping their head round the door with a question to larger scale performance issues. Now it means after solving the problems of how to do one good idea I'm attracted by the problems of the new one rather than persevering with bringing idea #1 to completion.
