It seems like most people I talk to about my business idea look at me funny and then say "But why would someone pay you to do that when they can do it themselves" Which is silly of course because many, many business are based on things you can do yourself but choose not to. So what was the most ridiculous comment you recieved when you brought up or bring up your business ideas?

Very good! lol. My type of service has been edorsed by insurance companies, police departments and the National Hurricane Center and yet during all my research I have found fewer than 10 percent actually have done this and when those ten percent have, they did an incomplete job of it. My plan is to go back and do a freebie for my nay saying neighbor and show them what the final product will be, they will change their minds I am sure of it.
Zoom on.
Dear Mr. Kuechenberg:
In this age of hyper-specialization, your neighbor appears to be a bit out of touch,as you point out. But your story demonstrates that even great ideas need effective marketing and sales strategy to be successful. All customers make a purchase because they are moved to believe that it brings value to their lives, that it is worth the money.
When a client suggests that they could file their own trademark application, for example, or draft and negotiate their own venture funding deal, I typically say, "Best of luck, but your time is worth more than my fee."
Warm regards,
