i think this blog posts hinges on the assumption that most people have the work ethic and drive of an entrepreneur and that's just simply not true. if it was, half the people that come to you with 'ideas' would actually do something with them. "opportunity is missed by most people because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work". - TE

also, if I purchased ideas from employees, the company would not be focused and we would spend each week chasing the "next half-baked idea" which is exactly the type of startups/founders I now avoid after seeing two fail due to that same type of scatter behavior. but, i think this is more important in the context of startups than established businesses where fresh ideas are often needed.
