Andy is just being too honest and some may construe it as weakness.
All small business owners (medium and large too) go through this at
some point.  I suggest that you keep those feeling to a close few in
your life, let the feelings out of course, but don't publish them for
the whole world.

My suggestion is that you find and develop a relationship with
someone/company in your target markets.  You are the manufacturer,
your problem is that you have no distribution chain in place to get
your products out there.  Offering wholesale to the list may turn up a
few people in the right position to carry and distribute your products
and are trustworthy but it may not as well.

I think you should find a company that does something already along
the lines of the product you are offering, make contact, if you see a
real interest, send a demo unit for free (R&D, staffing, overhead is
much more of a worry when nobody is buying).  If your product is good,
it will sell itself, you just have to get it into the right people's
hands in the right vertical or niche market.

Vehicles, children, pets, possibly law enforcement, health care
(elderly with dementia) seem like obvious verticals, a niche would
serve you very well.
