Man, I sit here day in day out, and get some really great ideas I cant make happen

that I cant make most of these happen for they would make bank 🙁

I have a lack of funds, and brain power to take them to the next level, and the select few I tell my ideas to are all gung hoe for them as well and in some cases, a few of my ideas would be a huge thing for many people. One would be for the gaming community, another 2 would be for the RC community, and each of which I cant do nothing more with them but keep them to myself. I cant get a patent on them for Im scared and know the 1-800 patent place for ideas like pedi paws or the Snuggy these are not one to send in for.

And because Im always sitting here all the time, my brain wonders and I can think of ideas all the time that come to my head. You can believe this or not, but back in the early to mid 90's I came up with the concept of putting dealerships on the internet as far as inventory, awards, and distance from home, and I tried to sell that to dealerships when I lived in Chicago. My best friend and I tried to get it off the ground. We had papers and contracts drawn up by a lawyer, and we named the company Dealers INC.. I even had a computer programmer ready to start writing code. This was way before I got hurt and really lost my marbles. We had to have gone to almost all the dealers in Chicago, but because we lacked the funds to get the website up, we were turned down because we were told 2 reasons. They wanted to see the site, which we were going to have in place once we were able to get only 4 dealers signed up on contract, and the others said "No one in their right mind would ever buy a car off the internet!" and kicked us out.

Needless to say, carfax, auto trader, blah blah blah all come out years later, my friggin concept, and I have a picture of me and my friend somewhere holding up a set of our papers with the name on it, and I think I have some of the stuff in a box down in my basement. But its stuff like this Im always coming up with, and I even tell my wife when I come up with the ideas I have over the last 10 years we been married, and sure as hell few years after I tell her of my idea, someone else comes out with almost exactly what I told her of what I had in mind to the letter.

I have 2-3 kick ass ideas I dont think are in place right now now would literally kick some freaking ass and make me, and someone, or company, a crap load of money, and I cant do nothing with it, and I know years from now someone else will have it out and Im going to be left high and dry as always.

What in the heck do I do, these really are some great ideas, one of which would benefit a ton of disabled kids and adults, or some really lazy ass people. Id like to see at least one of my ideas come to light before I die, but I need someone to take if further, is there a place I can go to to take my idea to that would buy my idea, or partner up with to make what I have, or can pitch my ideas to a few companies I know who would love to have it to make them millions and me/us?

How does one go further, and if you do help, please take it slow with me, Im not all here anymore, and I know my time is short, and Im asking to pointed in the right way so maybe I can have one or all take off so when I do die my family will be ok when Im gone. I know I may sound off my rocker, for the most part I am, but I need to make something go right for once in my life or them, and I know one or most of these ideas I have would take off if it went to the right people. Any helpful suggestions other then stay off the drugs, something I wish I could do?
 
I know how you feel man, I know.. I've just been trying to teach myself how to do more of it on my own, still 100x harder without substantial capital.

Short of pitching to VC firms (which is a challenge in itself) I'm afraid I can't provide a lot of help though...
 
The problem is that the right people usually have ideas of their own, often more than they'll ever have time to develop.

I have a Word file full of software projects I'd work on if I had more free time. I might never get to any of them since I do development 9-6 and at the end of the day I'd rather watch a movie or play a game.
 
You think you have the best idea ever, and let's say it is, someone somewhere has already thought of it. Ideas are a dime a dozen. It's the execution that's the most important part. And if you're idea is that great, people will line up to fund your venture.

I love that! Thanks for the link, but whats the chances of my, non patented idea I pitch to them, they see, and go "good god oh mighty, is there a patent on this shit? NO?!"

Were sorry to inform you but your idea sucks ass have a nice day 🙂

And then all of a sudden my idea is mass produced or say RC companies Like Traxxas, Or Microsoft is making my ideas I sent in to google ventures 2 years prior?

Or should I just say fug it all and take my chances and hope for the best?

I have a working proto type of my Xbox 360 invention, not really an invention, it was a wonder if I could do this, and tried it for the hell of it invention, to see if it would even work, to take it to the next level and get the replies I WAS LOOKING FOR FOR THE REAL IDEA i had in mind of making. But I have a first edition of it on youtube right now, then I got some responses on that idea, and completely changed it around in a different way based on the responses I was after by putting that one up that I thought I would get from it, but secure my feeling I had at first about where to go from there, that I feel, would kick some royal ass and make gamers and Microsoft bitch slap the R&D department and say "Why did it take some fucking drugged up disabled douche bag to come up with this, and you over paid fuck tards, couldnt?"

But if that is real with google, I guess I can make a private video of my "finished" version, and submit that to google and see what I get back from them on it, and hope they dont steal my idea and leave me high and dry.

Sasiki, all I can tell you is if it does pan out, and I make something on it, I will give you a bit for the link and pointing me in the right direction, I didnt know that even existed till you just linked it, and I thank you. I guess I need to get cracking some how on making a video to submit what I made on that one, just a few others to go.
 
I often get ideas that could really change the world. Problem is I don't have the money, resources or time to execute them. Maybe in many years from now when I retire.
 
If anyone has any internet-based projects, we're always looking to invest (potentially), but more often than not, help out in exchange for equity. PM me if anyone is interested.

dude, half the people here cant read or understand half the crap I write, and most the time neither can I, and then it takes me forever to write some of it out, I try to hunt down mistakes, but I never, ever, get them all, so blogging is out.

If I get something that takes extensive brain thinking or thought for more then a few moments, I lose it all. I sometime just stare out into nothing for hours and wake up out of a daze, or my epilepsy kicks in and im shaking all over the place, my only real chance at this point I see, is if one o my ideas would get bought for my health is going down in a fire ball of doom straight for hell, and there is going to come a point I wont be able to do absolute nothing more then sit here at which point, I dont care what other may say, I wont live that way, I got enough dugs on my desk to start my own pharmacy and will take the easy route out, a shit load of BP meds and pain pills one night to take that last and final nap, shouldnt feel a damn thing.

I may have a few more good years before I get to that point though, so I got to make sure I get something going while I can and try to do something with this, and say at least I tried, maybe even if someone takes my ideas and makes money of them instead of me, at least then I know yet another one of mine would of made me rich 😛
But I got some things on my list Id like to get done and do or try, and other stuff to as well I need to finish up on and discuss with people, but Id sure like one o these to fly I got stirring up in my head, it be kinda cool I think.

Yeah yeah, too much to read, lots of mistakes blah blah 😛

You have some obstacles to climb then. I would try to get some medication for your ADD.
