If someone asks that question, they're in 1 of 2 categories:

1) Dreamers. They have something that nobody will do for them, so they're going to see how easy it is to do for themselves. They won't make it.

2) Doers. They don't have a single project. They have multiple projects. The projects are swimming in their head and they need to get them out. They just need a nudge in the right direction, but more help is almost always better.

Notice that neither of them are asking the wrong question. It's just a matter of follow-through. Given even a tiny bit of direction, the doers will make it there... But you can't start walking until you have some idea where the destination is. That's all they want.
