Best of luck, I guess I've personally had little success at companies with "I have an idea" types in leadership.

Thanks. It’s been a slow long burn. One company is now 14 years old, and the #2 player it it’s industry. We grew very slowly over those years but we did it with a really small team and will be the dominate player in the long run. The other company is still a fresh startup, also a small team, but I have the finances to keep it afloat from the first. All of this is funded by our own profits, we do not have outside investors. It’s part of the reason we grew so slowly, at the start it was really just me, doing everything.
