No, his invention (the telephone) was outrageously successful - after a while. But Bell thought business was the only place that would ever use it, and did not, astonishingly, see much hope for profit in it. He sold the rights to the invention - including the right to use his name - lock, stock and barrel. He either didn't realize, or didn't believe, that everyone would want one in their home.
