If you suck at marketing and sales, you need a partner who is good at it, as being an entrepreneur is ultimately a sales job. The best product in the world will never get out to the people if the people don’t know about it.

This is why I work at a big corporation. While I can romanticize the life of a solo dev entrepreneur, I know I’d never do the sales side of the job, and it would ultimately go nowhere.

You have to be honest with yourself and ask what you’re willing/able to do. For those things you’re not willing to do, or not good at, are you willing to bring it help? Can you afford to bring in help at this point or is it too late?

Taking a 9-5 job doesn’t mean your projects have to die. It just means you don’t have to rely on them to pay your bills. Though keeping it alive would take more will and intentionality.
