tiberry - I'm not sure there is an identity crisis there. I know that this is something that I could do on my own, but getting there would take longer than it would with a diverse group who has a skillset to complement my own. Yes, I'm putting trust in these people, as they are in me That's the nature of a venture like this.
If after a reasonable amount of time it doesn't seem to be going anywhere I still have the option of striking out on my own, but as his venture requires nothing of me but my time and a bit of effort (and promises almost immediate dividends, as we're already getting contracts) I don't see the harm in giving it some effort. But back on topic...
cellophanedeity - I think it's safe to say that no one is the archetype of either, just that some people have a more common trait than others. Certainly saying that I'm a person who gets things done isn't the same as saying I'm incapable fo thinking or planning, more that my personality is better suited to practicalities and action than it is to dreaming and inventing. I don't think either is a negative thing, however. Indeed, I firmly believe that in order for any progress in this world to be made.
Consider the architect and the contractor. Neither can survive without the other - the architect is able to plan and visualize a building but often lacks the necessary resources and skills to actually construct one. The contractor, on the other hand, has the ability to construct anything from simple townhomes to huge feats of engineering - but without an architect to plan it out, he has nothing to build. This is again oversimplified, nobody fits precisely into one category or the other. However, we all do seem to lean more in one direction than the other.
