Banking on people's ideas, visions, and talents.

[sekalitas]

Have you ever met individuals with insane and brilliant ideas that got you wondering, how come he knows all this and it's not even reflected in his life? Some could give you real business ideas that could change a whole generation but that's all they can do, they can't bring it to reality and all their ideas only end on the discussion ground and never come to life.

I've met some of them and I must say, they are the backbone of so many successful businesses. Always with brilliant solutions to hands-on problems but can't put things together all by themselves to create a company of their own.

I believe nature is fair to all and while it gives some people that quality, others can bank from these brilliant ideas and bring it all to reality by supporting the ideas with the needed finance, resources, and coordination required to have a successful firm.

What do you think?

Yeah I agree! I've run into some of people with amazing ideas. We'd always brainstorm back in college, and the biggest roadblock was always money. It's tough to make those ideas a reality without funding or finding the right investor.

Speaking of keeping track of those brilliant ideas... have you tried the Zettelkasten method? Basically, you write each idea on its own little note, like a digital index card. Then you can connect the ideas later. Obsidian work super well for this.

[khiholangkang]

I often meet people like that, especially in the discussion room about business with my college friends in the past, they make ideas and plan complexly to run a business, but in fact they can only imagine and not execute what has been thought of, because there may be two or three things that cause them themselves not to be able to do it, whereas logically if he knows the ins and outs of the business why should he tell others about his ideas, but indeed a lot of people like that are constrained regarding execution. Therefore, if there is one person who has the courage to execute or can be called a businessman's soul, he will do it and make the person who has the idea his subordinate.

Steve Wozniak invented what Apple did, Steve Jobs had nothing to do with it, he didn't code it, he didn't build it, he had absolutely no technically knowledge, he did helped with assembling it on the early days, but he basically contributed nearly nothing to it.

Wozniak would have just used what he had as hobby, and eventually others would have figured out how to do that anyway, but Wozniak would have made no money at all, yet he changed the world. He needed Steve Jobs to turn that company into one of the biggest companies in the world, and he left such a legacy that even after his passing, Apple is still going super strong with his vision. So yeah, sometimes people who are brilliant, may need some extra pair of hands.

People differ in their perspective of life while some are proactive and spontaneous others aren't. Many conceptualize smart ideas but cannot bring them to reality. Although ideas rule the world without them there wouldn't be innovations.


Now the matter of why those people's ideas aren't conceptualized by them might be because of doubt(fear), lack of resources to bring their ideas to reality, or basically because they are in their comfort zone.

Ideas too can be poorly executed if not properly followed or conceptualized, the problem with ideas is not all that can be banked on. My closing remark, *ideas are cheap, and execution is costly!*

[Kakmakr]

A lot of people are very creative, but they are lazy too. I have seen some brilliant ideas coming from the most lazy people at my work.

A guy will for example write a batch file to run scripts to automate all their work and then quickly do the work that takes hours for other people to do.

So, you have to be a creative person and also a hard worker to implement your ideas and then sucess will follow.

[btc78]

Most businessmen started from the bottom. You would not even believe that they were once poor because of just how successful they have become and it is all thanks to their brilliant ideas. I do wonder how many brilliant ideas that did not come into fruition because they did not have the opportunity and resources.

Most people who bank on other peoples’ ideas often end up becoming selfish and then completely disregarding the original creator. For example, the Mcdonald brothers. The brothers started the restaurant but it was Ray Kroc who basically built the empire that is now called Mcdonald’s. The brothers could have had the same success as Kroc but didn’t because Kroc bought the franchise all for himself. I think it’s unfair to creators especially if they will not be given proper compensation for their ideas.

This is one good step to be successful. There are various successful persons in this world that used different strategies. Some got the talent, developed it and became successful. While some had no ideas, talent or anything but are lucky to have the funds. Either personal funds they worked for or they were born with a silver spoon. All that matters is that they used those who have the skills, talent and idea by investing in them and become successful.

A true successful man is one who at his convenient place he makes money without having to work for it. Once you have laid the foundation for money you will see it coming easily. Others will be working for you and you will sit and take money.

[MissNonFall9]

A proverb is very common - hard work is the key to success. One can never succeed in life without hard work. Because we know that spiritual knowledge and money are not necessary if knowledge is not rich. So if the lessons of the books or the views and ideas of the people are not put into practical use, then banking is not possible. But of course, the surrounding environment and people's mindset and talent are very important factors in establishing a business. Therefore, to achieve success in any work, the mentality of hard work and the field of application of skills must be created. At the same time, one must have the mindset to accept failure and have the honest courage to try again.

Yea there are people with amazing ideas about business and so, some are just filled with such ideas but it remains ideas it’s just like dream or imaginary plans which they have given to others and have made them successful while some maybe, don’t have the capital to start with but have beautiful structural ideas in their head but maybe no funds to start with
Who knows….

The idea that someone knows so much, and can't get the funding is a lot more wide open in the academia. When you go to a large school, you will realize that you are going to find a lot of professors, or even assistants, who will have brilliant ideas that will never become a reality because they do not have the funding.

It could be something as simple as writing a book that could be used for generations to learn about a subject, or it could be something so large that you would need to create the Hadron Collider, the idea of it was planted between academia first, and then became more and more real of course, people who are working there are all thinkers. So when you consider all of this, the reality is obvious, it takes a lot of money to make a vision come true.

I have seen such individuals, they are so idealistic and brilliant but it's not reflecting in their lifestyle. I believe they haven't put into practice what they preach. Even the holy bible said, "faith without work is dead". However those set of persons can actually make a living by selling their ideas to people that have the capacity to make it come through and make money from that. Just like we have song writers that cannot sing, yet they give the verses they've written to good musicians to sing, and people will enjoy the music without knowing who wrote it.
People are talented in different ways but the ability to use your talent to make a living is not always easy.

I see a lot of people like that—motivational influencers or speakers on the Facebook platform or YouTube apps—who do that. Most of those who give motivational speeches do not match what they say with the real lifestyle they have in real life.

And even the others who are not influencers are also like that, but you can really get an idea from what they say; if only those who listened to what they said, that's what made them more successful in life because they did what they said in the life of the person who listened to them.

Indeed, there are many people like that in this world now because not everyone has the same ability to realize their dreams through the ideas that are already in their heads. Some people who have not been able to implement their best ideas so far are actually not only influenced by the small amount of capital they have, but are also hampered by the difficulty of getting the right place with a good opportunity to start.

So some people who have the opportunity and the right place to run a business will look for ways to get some capital and also the bright ideas they need to be able to run an extraordinary business. So all of these things will of course be very different from one person to another because the opportunities and places will not always be the same for everyone.

[Cryptomultiplier]

There are the thinkers and also the doers. There are those who have been gifted and have multiple talents, while those who don't have or know they have any talent because they have failed to look inward and listen to themselves may acquire skills that would make one get confused and think they are a naturally gift/talent individual.

It depends also if one prefers to be a follower rather than a boss/leader, because while some bask in light and love the attention, others, mostly the brilliant minds and gifted individuals who have honed their gift, may prefer the shadow or enjoy not being in the spotlight.

The truth is everyone has been classified as a living being and as such has got to be part of contributing to the earth in one form or another, else life seizes to happen.
 So it is either one gets used to make a business they work for successful with their brilliance and tech-know- how or they got to make use of others to make their own business successful.

Yes that's right. Every person in this world is different, some have talents and ideas but no capital or vice versa. then both people must collaborate with each other in order to achieve success. So as an investor, sometimes you have to use many people's ideas to achieve success in your business. Opportunities and places are not always the same, but both can be combined to achieve success. It's just about time and having the opportunity.

The reality is that sponsors will only fund what is interesting for them and will benefit them personally somehow. Even regards studentships it work like this. The student has his chances of achieving the studentship raised if he develops a project which awakes the interest of the institution which is going to offer the studentship. Therefore, if he wants to be sponsored, he has to adapt his project to a field of investigation which is useful for the educational institution.

Otherwise, the project can be really good and innovative, but he won't be able to find someone to fund it, if they don't have a good reason for doing so. There is also another issue inside the academic field: some people pay in order to have their projects and researches published at academic magazines and journals. If they don't pay (and it's really expensive), they don't get recognized and don't gain notoriety inside the "industry".

Capitalism is really good and allow us to have access to the possibility of thriving into a prosperous life, however, some people (probably most people) put money above everything else, and then we have these imbalances in life where money talks, and skills plus merit stays behind in second plan...

[Sorryfor]

It is true that a skilled successful businessman can do great things by harnessing the talents of many people. If they work according to their plan, it will definitely become a breakthrough in the future. Today in our society there are many people who are very talented and hard working. They cannot succeed only because of financial crisis and lack of help. But if they are financially and sufficiently exercised by a skilled man, then certainly much good can be done by them in the future. But those who are at a very high level in our society have very little tendency to make such decisions. They are only busy with themselves but very few people have the mindset to give others a chance.

All the great things that have been created on earth have been brought together. That is, people work and fulfill their responsibilities in every sector. Let's say there is a biscuit factory where there is an entrepreneur who makes a profit by selling biscuits. There will be a group of chemists who will ask for the proper application of ingredients or chemicals required for making biscuits but they will not mix the ingredients or chemicals while making the biscuits, i.e. employ manpower to mix the chemicals. And there will be someone for how and where to do marketing but he will not go and do marketing himself, because the marketing ‍sector will be hired for marketing. That is, the combination of talent mentality, and hard work is required for establishment and success in business or banking institutions.

Your post deserves some merit and I am surprised nobody decided to send some over to you. This is a very relevant topic you opened up and I feel you put this very well together. Indeed, there are personalities I came across and was talking and couldn't stop wondering why they aren't already sitting in their own multimillion dollars headquarter in a big city with their own company. But you brought up some important aspects: there are people who are genius coming up with new ideas, sometimes even designing them in their head and providing a strategy of how they would approach the realization of a specific project, but they can't convince themselves to go for it, to risk to fail, to bear the pressure and uncertainty until their idea is finally fully converted into tangible reality.

I think there are a lot of thinkers that should make sure they match with the right doers at some point in their life. I believe most of us have gone through a time of being a thinker without grabbing the bull by the horns and then we let go of an amazing idea or maybe even concept. I have had that and sometimes I look back and wish someone listened to me and said: let's go, seriously we do this now!

A lot of people thinkers, not many people are outstanding thinkers / unique thinkers, and some people are doers, only very few people are outstanding doers. And only a very small fraction of the population fits into the intersection of being an outstanding thinker and outstanding doers.

But frankly, nobody has to belong into the category of being outstanding at thinking and doing. As many great CEOs have said, the most important thing is to know where to find those people to do the job for you and the fun part is that many of the people sometimes don't really know themselves that they are either good thinkers or doers or both.

Your post got me thinking, was surely worth a merit!

Sometimes it is not about brilliance or intelligence but how you are able to channel what you have. Either there is a place of destiny in some people's life that makes them misuse opportunities that they have and at the end they get derailed from their purpose and begin to abuse whatever talent that they have by taking hard drugs and addiction to it eventually will make mess of an intelligent mind.

Moreover, it is not only about the things we say being operational into reality. Have you also wondered why economic lecturals, professors are not the wealthy people in the society? Hence there are different kinds of influence going on around that without proper determination then you get to run contrary to your goals and aspirations.

I guess there are people that is actually have some really bright ideas, just imagining about how most of the companies right now, like the blue chips companies story today are just really amazing, like how they started some kind of idea on just there garage then turns out to be the best idea ever then now became a really huge company already, It was really unbelievable that it just comes from there mind. In my opinion for sure the world is really unfair to every one of us, I mean not everyone is born rich in this world, there are people the born in poverty and there are people that is born have everything they need already, that is surely a thing right. There are some people that have this kind of gift for sure.

But I believed that these people weren't all about just luck, if they are successful today that is surely because they do a lot of hard work as well, I mean the idea talent, and vision is already there but it wasn't really going to be real unless you going to do something about it right, like Facebook or Apple is just made because they think of the idea, for sure they do a lot of hard work before even getting to the point of it was a successful company. What you need have that idea in your mind do the actual work and then hope to get lucky right, bottom line is, it isn't just about luck and talent, you need to make it real as well, we just doesnt know it because we doesnt really know their experience and hard work they put on it since right now most of the people would think that they were arrogant just because they were lucky but that thing is we can't judge them because we dont know what they passed through in order to get to their position right now.
