I too have the same difficulty. My coworking community is located in Camp Hill, PA. It is a suburbia town next to our state capitol. I have found that people find the concept interesting and while some understand the concept most do not. I have tried explaining it in different ways and invite them to my community, but I have no members yet. I am excited about what it can become, but articulating the concept so they understand has been unsuccessful.
Sorry I couldn't be of any assistance to you David.
