In the office/work setting, you can only get people to do stuff if you are the boss or a person of 'authority'. If you try to take it upon yourself to fix and solve problems, your co-workers will look down on you because you'll make them look like they aren't working as hard. Most people just do what they're supposed to do to collect a paycheck and get by. If you want to do something great that has an impact, you have to find others who have the same heart. It's likely you won't find someone like that at the office.
When you partner with somebody, you have to first see if they are in it for the money or are they in it to change the world. Most will be in it for the money. It sucks, but the truth is there aren't very many passionate people out there who want to change the world. So don't try to motivate people with money because the ones you need on board in the long-term are those who have passion.
Are you a developer? I am a UI designer so if you want to collaborate on one of your ideas I'd be open to that.
