I also think there is an element of surrounding yourself with people that will shoot you straight.
I sold my "inner circle" on an idea I had. They all said what a great idea it was. I SOLD them on it. Then, when we launched... not one of them bought it. None of them.
The right advisors (note : not PARTNERS, but advisors) who will call a spade a spade can help you read the tea leaves appropriately.
If you don't know where to find them, start by hosting an informal, off the record, non-sanctioned meetup in your town with a few people you can meet here on the forum. Chances are, they're in a similar window of time to you. You might find your advisors there. At a minimum, you might find a group of people you can bounce stuff off of.
