What is it that I am doing wrong in life? ?

Hello, I am developing a product and everyone (almost) around me seems to think I am delusional. I might be, I have read the biography of Steve Jobs, he believed in what he did. If he didn't, today we'd have a different world.

Or take for example any product that you have in your house, if the person who made it didn't believe in it, then it would just not be there. 

I am waiting for some people to develop my product but I don't seem to be doing anything towards that, I am not working towards it is what some people think.

I feel it is fate that might get me to meet the people who I would work with. And currently due to the pandemic I can't see someone new. I strongly believe that someone might come to help me. Till then I have to wait. 

Let me know your opinion on my thinking. Would want to know if you have gone through something similar and what did you do. Thank you.

    I have not invented a product but I do have an opinion.  What you're doing wrong is waiting for someone to just show up and have an interest in your product, and thinking that fate will bring that person, or people to you.  You said it yourself that you're not doing anything to push your product.  People who have an idea and brought us all the products we have, made sure it happened by getting it out there, whether in person or over the internet.  You'd feel bad if, in a few years, you saw that your product had been invented by someone else because that person acted first.
