The next biggest problem is solving problems that are outside my expertise. I can hack through any code, optimize and scale any database, but I can't figure out how to advertise a product effectively or get users. These problems stem from my lack of ability to network with others effectively.
Of course, I think solving these issues are at the core of the difference between a wanna-be founder and a real founder. I hope I can learn it.
My biggest problem is that I seem to have lost the ability to enter a highly productive state because of interruptions. What do you suggest to help me enter that state more often that allows me to still keep on top of the things I am responsible for?
As an entrepreneur my biggest problem is enough confidence in any idea to go for it.
It's still very much an unsolved problem. Google figured out their end of it, but the end-user is still left out in the cold. Ask anyone who uses AdWords if they think it's an intuitive or pleasant experience.
There are other kinds of advertising ripe for disruption too. A lot of people have money coming online and it's surprisingly hard to spend it effectively.
