If they don't share your vision and aren't getting paid you're not going to keep them around for long. People are often eager to help their friends but then regret what they've gotten themselves into when the task becomes too large.

You either need to find people as passionate about your idea as you, or offer them some compensation that they care about. There's no easy way to get good work out of people for free other than telling them they get college credit for it or that it's the only way to advance their career.

I might have problems sharing my vision, I know what I want, but I'm sure that im having problems to share it with the others
Are you a non-technical person leading technical people?
nope, I'm technical, usually I try to show them what i've done in the project to show them that i'm working hard and get them excited
It might backfire at times, they would be more interested to know how to succeed in what is being asked to do. Focus more on that direction than showing what you had done.
it makes sense, if i tell them how important is their role, and how we will succeed if they do it, they will be passionate about it
