Or just stop having these conversations. Let them change the subject. Stop telling them they could do it. Get over your apparent need to be constantly selling the startup dream and just talk about their damn sister's wedding. When they say 'oh well I couldn't because x' just say 'yea, fair enough' and move the fuck on with your life. Oh, but 'you can't help it'? Whatever. You won't know until you try. You'll figure it out, you've just got to do it. Right?

Fair enough and that's how it usually ends up, the subject changes and everyone goes about their lives. That's not really why they are asking me though... they are hoping I can give them some secret sauce to making it actually happen. The reality is that sauce is simply their not changing the subject and to keep asking questions. I'll keep talking, its more exciting then the sisters wedding at the end of the day and maybe together will figure some way forward rather than accepting the "fair enough" copout.
