The first step is to be brutally honest about what you are good at and where you need help.

Once you have this realization, it is all about networking within your local entrepreneurial ecosystem. The more people whom you tell your Personal Pitch (see related entry) the better your chances of finding people who compliment your skills and deficiencies.
