the more i think about your comment, the more i'm not sure you become a "rainmaker" by executing...rainmaker is really a term for the guy who brings in the business...often that guy as a sales bent and thinks big, but isn't great on execution...every rainmaker needs a strong team who can execute...but i don't think the two are as closely tied as you suggest

Ah, I see your point and I agree. "Rainmaker" is the wrong term for sure. A better categorization would be exactly what you said, a "doer" ... so to restate my comment: make sure you push some of those rank 1 ideas forward, if even marginally, as it will help you mature from a dreamer to a "doer"
