It has been a few years since I'm trying to involve people around me (primarily software engineer friends) in brainstorming ideas to solve problems I and others encounter on regular basis.
Sadly, they are passive, they usually complain about stuffs, they say "it would be a good idea to do that or this". However, whenever I move forward and start suggesting solutions to solve the issue, I make diagrams on how a solution could work; it always finishes in them lacking any motivation moving forward in either finding issues with the solution itself or even thinking of how to get it done.
Do you know where I can find people with the right mindset? Are there any communities where we're safe sharing ideas and designs with people willing to get things done?
Loneliness is kill me :)
PS: My wife is really supportive, so at least I have that
Basically you want someone to take the risk to take your ideas onwards and then take the credit... Most people won't do that without some financial or other motivation.
Question you need to ask is - why would I care about your solution?
Is this at work, or a side project? Are these fixes adding to the workload or requiring additional hours?
If this is like at a company, they may have the same mindset as me - suggesting new work will only lead to added hours with no reward. I would be more motivated to work on side projects.
You're coming up with ideas, but I don't hear about your actions to take those ideas to the next step.
You might be sitting on million dollar ideas. An entrepreneurs life CAN be lonely.
Without more information about your goals and some more specifics on the problem domain I doubt you'll get much useful advice.
Only 2% of people (at best) are leaders/initiators.
And it’s okay.
You’ll hire your colleagues later when you prove yourself.
I don’t think that some community possible, because leaders are usually busy doing their stuff, not chatting.
