I so often have "I have this idea X, blah blah, what should I do?!?!"

And my response, every time is : "Stop talking about it and do it - or don't."

I mean, if you're not prepared to knuckle down and do the work yourself - do you actually believe in what you're doing?

These words were said to a very drunk me in a bar in London some 12 years ago, while I was fucking about with my first botched trainer-wheels startup (social networking for the elite - got serious traction, but we lost interest), and was garrulously asking some poor fucker what he thought I should do about idea X. That was his off-the-cuff response, but I've lived by it since.
