There are several companies currently executing on an idea I came up with (and thought was a brilliant, hundred million dollar idea) a year and a half ago.
But... My friends and I were comletely unprepared to execute. We learned this the hard way after months of hard work. Now those other companies have VC funding, tons of employees, etc.
If I could have done it, I'd be in their shoes.
Oh well. You live and you learn. It was an obvious idea in retrospect. I'll just come up with more.
(Point being, just to clarify, we didn't have the skills, experience, wisdom, etc. to pull it off. And that's okay. You have to start somewhere... we just tried to start in the wrong place.)
