Situations like this used to bother me greatly. In fact there have been several times in my life where I dumped ideas simply because someone told me it was a bad idea, only to watch that idea turn into a million dollar opportunity a year later with someone else. Over time I have learned that not everyone is going to like every idea or product. You could have the greatest product in the world and there will always be detractors who have no interest or a bad opinion. Unless every body you talk to has the same reaction I would not worry about the few who could care less.

Even Henry Ford had people who thought cars were a crazy idea and they would never use them. Now look where we are with vehicles. In short, don't worry about it.
