You mention Steve Jobs and how he focused on a luxury line. That's not just because he has nice aesthetic sensibilities, it's also because people who buy luxury products have money. Which of your product ideas is the most luxurious/targets the wealthiest slice of the population? You can either sell ten of something at $100 or 1000 of something at $1.

Be very discerning who you share your projects/pursuits with. Most people will be filtering it through their experience and their own internal critic will be applied to you. I too would rather have silence than unmotivating or demotivating banter , which sadly means some people just need to be avoided or left out of the loop. Simple as that.

The "build it and they will come" mentality is only true of prisons and swamps (gators, snakes, and birds). You must orient around a need, an exigency people have, and build the bridge that connects them to their destination.

Anyway, if most customers can't pay, they're not customers in the sense you need. The "custom" around "custom-er" is they hand you money when you hand them some good or service. If they don't hand you money, how can we say they are participating in the custom of commerce? Whatever you build needs to bridge a gap or painpoint so annoying or challenging or riveting or worthwhile that people will thrust money into your pocket to have it.

Thank you so much for these words. These are actually solid advice that can actually help me to go further.

I also truly agree with your statement to rather sit in silence rather than unmotivating people around.

Thank you so much for encouraging me. I wish you the best!
