How I used to handle project ideas

Maybe this is usual, maybe not, but I'm used to write down all the ideas I periodically have which can make difference.
Everything started about 5 years ago, when I've started writing down all the ideas I am having. I'll be short - they were a lot. And I was creating really big documents for each of them - describing everything there about my vision in detail. And always was hoping, that once I will find somebody - who will be interested in those, and will let me make them real, cause they mainly were really big.
I did a lot of reading on finding investers for projects - really a lot, and several times I has been contacted by different people from different countries saying, that they want to invest. Maybe I was not so good in communication, maybe they were just trying to get the idea and go away, I don't know, but the fact is that I now feel, that the only person, who will once bring those ideas to life - is me, and nobody else will be ever such intersted in bringing them to life.
Although now I understand that those were just dreams and nobody will ever live with those ideas, and people, event those "investers" who invest in something, are looking for money first, althought some projects are about to make lifes of many people much easier, funnier, ... .
After so many years of looking around, I've thought about something different, because I believe - there are always many solutions for any problem, and when you think there are no ways out from some situation - be sure - there are, and think again. You now ask - what I've tried ? Ok, I've tried to do it with help of people, who share my opinions, my views and my vision. So several times I managed to find such people about 3 or 4, and we were jumping on some project. That was great, although I was getting tired a lot because that was about 3-4 hours every day after work (sometimes at nights). I was ok with that, althought people, who I was working with - were giving up after few days. Of course I understand them - they want to get money for their work, and even if they feel that the project will go live and time will set everything in its place, and they will be happy with the income, they were living by the problems they had that moment. I really understand them, and don't blame anyone of them, cause they still are my friends.
So I do continue to collect my ideas and hope that once I will be able to make them real by my own investments. Time will show :)

And thanks for following.
