Most people out there are going to be nay sayers. A truly good idea is good because it's a secret. PayPal's secret when it was founded was that people might want a secure way of making payments over the internet.

At the end of the day, you need to take small bets. Don't wager your life savings. Listen to the criticism and have the confidence to filter out what you think is irrelevant. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win."
