We look for a point where two lines converge: the line between the banal and the amazing (or from commonplace to exceptional) and the line between people's confidence and skepticism.

   Where these two imaginary lines intersect is the "buy-in" zone, where people mentally and emotionally buy into the vision. They must feel that your vision is both bold enough to be worthwhile--even inspiring, and yet probably, or at least possibly doable within the current situation. Some who doubt will hang around to see if it happens. Others must embrace the vision as fully doable and pitch in to accomplish it.
