Thanks TW.
2 things you can do:
1. Surround yourself with people you know think differently - people who never think "this can't be done" - but automatically think "how can this be done." Take your ideas to them first.
2. While discussing your ideas with everyone else, create a build up. For eg: telling them to create a one page website is a big jump. Instead, first show them a long direct mail salesletter. Tell them how well it did. Discuss how you think that websites provide a similar platform. And then ask if they can put up a webpage that is similar to those long salesletters.
People think we are strange because they haven't followed our thought process. And they can't make the jump.
