1. Honestly embrace the idea that you're a business person and don't have what it takes for an idea. A technical co-founder isn't a pair of hands to build your dreams, it's the other way around. If you don't like this approach then don't do tech, instead focus a business you know.
2. Winners love winners: Focus on execution for an existing startup. You don't need to be the CEO of that startup, but you need to build a track record of execution. You can be the sales guy who brought in the top clients or be the gumshoe who knocked on every door and raised a round.

I believe it was Confucius who said "the man who says they can and the man who says they cant are both generally right" which means conversely the man who tells others they can and they cant is generally right on both assumptions...... I couldn't disagree more with your opinion. Im going get this thing done one way or the other but i guess we will see who was right.
Well then what you don't need is a co-founder, what you really need is a pair of hands: That's not hard to find.
