If your goals are to gain experience and make money going the startup route, you don't HAVE to be the one with the idea if you're capable of implementing the ideas of others.
For best results, you just need to be able to RECOGNIZE a good idea that is presented to you and generate enough passion about said idea that you can make it the focus of your life for awhile.
There are people that have the opposite problem that you have...they have tons of good ideas (and maybe contacts and money), but lack the skills to implement them. Find those people. Start a company with them. Rinse. Repeat. Eventually, you'll tend to rub off on each other and you will gain skills in generating good business ideas on your own...
