I have another problem: ideas are cheap, coding is relatively easy, but talking to customers, marketing and sales in general are difficult as hell. Tried to find a sales co-founder on yc matching but gave up after two unsuccessful early stage startups. Did any of you have a similar problem? How did you solve it and become successful solopreneur?

I'm in the same boat and I'm definitely not successful yet. Here are some HN discussions that I found helpful. If anybody else has input, I'm all ears.

> Did any of you have a similar problem? Yes. > How did you solve it and become successful solopreneur? I took a hard, cold look at myself and assessed what I was good at and what I wasn't. I found others to help me with the stuff I wasn't good at. One of the major things is marketing and glad-handing. I fixed that by getting a partner who excelled at that sort of thing.
