Would be nice if it wasn't the case, but such is the life of a consultant.

You hit the nail on the head. In most cases, the "idea" person has a full time job and is able to pay their bills. And coming up with "ideas" is not what they do for a living.
A freelancer, on the other hand, now needs to work twice as hard to do the work on this new project (which often times requires more attention than actual paying work) as well as find work to pay for their bills.
I don't know of any "partnership" that has worked out.
