Easy to talk big.

Reality's sometimes different.
Not knocking entrepreneurship, by the way.

Just sometimes a little sceptical.

Talk is cheap.

Easier to take more seriously when someone has a proven track record, has made sure an idea is actually feasible, and that there's a market, and also has access to the money to fund their grandiose plans.

Who can forget in the eighties, when Huncoat was going to rival Disney as a worldwide tourist destination, with the Zeri centre, or whatever it was going to be called?
