Puts me in mind of that episode of "The Office" (U.S. version) when Michael is trying to sell his granny's investment club at the senior center on his half-baked business idea. If you can't sell your little old grandma on your idea, that ought to be a red flag right there!

Haha. Very true, and a great reference. Even though I would never tap into my family, I think they are a fantastic sounding block for new ideas. If the idea can get through them, maybe there is hope.
