I agree wholeheartedly. Too many talented people are on the sidelines waiting for the perfect idea. Jump in! You can make a very goood living with a good idea, and that positions you well to find a better idea.

The key is to provide value to someone. Once you have a business going, and have a good reputation, then you can start paring down your opportunities and focus on the more lucrative options, or focus on the breakthrough "big idea".

Well said. Good ideas can very easily morph into great ones if you're focusing on the right metrics and getting user-feedback. But inaction is always inaction, and inaction can't grow.
