For a couple years I was that business guy with a good idea and no money looking for a technical co-founder, but that strategy failed. Then I learned how to execute using a very lightweight web app that I paid a consultant to build and hired people who were smart enough and trained them from scratch. In 2 years I've gone from one person and $0 in cash to a business w/ great margins & nine people w/ all growth paid for by sales by focusing on a single idea and always holding onto it. Pretty soon I'll be able to pay for the people I need to scale the business to much larger.
In my opinion calling ideas worthless shows a lack of vision and creativity. It is very possible to engineer a business that can dominate from a single idea; doing so takes some fortitiude, cash, moxie, luck, strategy, determination, and a bunch of other adjectives.
