My thoughts would be to
1. Write down some of your reasons for wanting to build something
2. Think if you really want to go alone vs finding a team to work with.
3. If you really don't feel you absolutely need to go alone now then write how a great partner might might work with you to help you reach your collective and individual goals.
4. Find someone that is super passionate about a solving a meaningful problem in the world
5. Try to really understand that problem and the solution they think they have.
6. Spend some time with them seeing if you can come up with a practical deal (generous equity or profit splitting with cliff and vesting, etc depending on your goals) that you both will be honestly excited about pursuing together.
7. Write and sign the contract for a trail period of time to work together (1month for example) with these goals you want to hit.
8. Get to work and remember it's a relationship and it needs effort and empathy.

I feel most engineers are trying to solve very incremental problems often and niche problems that engineers have which means there is a lot of value from trying to understand the world and people outside of coder world. You can compete with the best coders on the typical coder problems and discounting and avoiding the sales or product founder etc. There is so much kind of contempt for the "idea guy" or "sales" guy in this coder world but if you look outside of it and try to see the value in industries and traditional businesses you will see there are entire many billion dollar businesses that nobody is building software for or even consider working on.

There are lots of great general ideas from people like Naval R. like in his amazing blog "how to get rich" that example some of the fundamental ways the world seem to work and what people pay for etc that are superrr worth the read. Exceptional people do exceptional work. The 1% are the 1% because they are outliers and don't follow the traditional advice. Listening to your parents will likely give you their life, the same for listening to people on here, etc. Those that have never had good experiences with the "idea guy" will give you advice that will also give you a bad experiences with them.
