I'm definitely an idea guy, but after years of careful observation, I've learned there are two types of idea guys: The vast majority have shitty ideas that aren't thought through very well. Yes, they come up with lots of ideas, but these ideas seem to be loose ideas not connected to a "bigger picture". When I come up with new business ideas, I don't consider them ideas until I've strategized a realistic monetization plan along with initial traction ideas. Oftentimes, the main idea cannot be worked on right away. You need to gain traction on a smaller subset of the idea and strategize your growth until you reach your original plan.
