I think it's going to be difficult to be a co-founder, but you might be a founder if you get more disciplined. I am self-motivated and have started a few companies.
I have attempted to start companies with friends that are not self-motivated. The issue is that I end up feeling like I am doing all of the work (and am forced to be in a manager/boss role or they don't get any work done) which causes resentment on both sides.
There are also many boring parts of the business that just need to get done. How are you going to get through these boring parts? At a certain point, co-founders won't be willing to do only the parts that you can't get motivated enough to complete.
Businesses also go through many tough periods before being successful (and even after they are successful) and if you can't keep yourself motivated, you will quickly fail.
In all seriousness, do you really want to run a business? I run my own business and I've never found a lack of motivation.
