Ideas are a dime a dozen. Its only worth its value when ideas are converted in to action. Without action, your ideas are just that, "ideas" and everyone has one.
By actually writing it down and tweaking the idea into an oppotunity, doesn't that constitute as action? Is it smart to skip this whole process altogether?
I am not suggesting you skip those steps. I think most people falls into the "analysis paralysis" stage and end up not implementing those ideas in to action. While "tweaking with ideas" can be considered an action - it is still an "idea".
I consider action to be the beginning of an actual product or implementation of that idea. Tweaking with idea is still an idea.
