Advice needed

[Eireann]

This isn't life advice, which is why I'm putting it in "Off Topic".

I was talking to someone today about a couple of business ideas I have. He was very enthusiastic about both of them. He told me to let him know if I do anything with them.

I certainly would, given the capital. I am a great idea person. I'm not saying this to brag; I just know that a lot of my ideas are very good and would work, if put into practice.

Is there any way I can make a business out of my ideas? Having people approach me for input on their businesses, so I can advise them on a creative, rather than a financial or marketing, basis. I know it's something of a stretch, but if there's a way it can be done, I'd love to know.

Not exactly. I'm talking about pitching ideas to people who are looking to start a company and need something to make it different, or people who already have companies and are looking for ways to expand.

That is pretty much a creative or business consultant though, more or less.
