Have you ever been told 'you can't do that' - if you are an entrepreneur, you've heard those exact words (or a variation on the theme)! It's part of who we are, pushing the establishment.
So the question becomes, how do you handle it? In the moment, being told no, and more importantly, internally. How does it affect your vision, your resolve, your momentum?
There is not any 'right' answer to this... the critical component it knowing your own 'why'. If you are clear on your why, every challenge becomes an opportunity, a learning moment. You can ask your naysayer - 'why can't it work' - either strengthening your decision to move forward, or helping you to see a new way.
