That's why all successful business have 2 founders: the builder and the seller. Look at Apple, Woz built it, Jobs sold it. Microsoft: Gates built it, Ballme

  There's also people who can extrapolate value by themselves. The most common examples being patio11, bdunn, nathanbarry, and crew. It's no secret they're going to delegate or outsource parts of their work that might not be immediately relevant, but that's just part of knowing how to delegate. That doesn't require a permanent cofounder. I think there's something to be said about building something simple of value and selling the crap out of one idea.(Assuming you know the idea brings in some kind of value for customers) This kind of thing is easier to do than people give themselves credit for. Half of the problem is just getting yourself to practice it. You'll fail a few times, it comes with the territory. You might be more comfortable doing freelancing and transitioning to product, but both can be done. That being said: business is of course significantly easier with help. It can be hard to bring someone on board without at least putting in the initial effort if you were going to do it by yourself anyway though. So it's a really good thing to attempt regardless.
