There are a lot of people like you. You don’t need to move and you don’t need to hire anyone unless you want to. You need product market fit and the ability to learn. Find others to speak to, maybe go to microconf.
Agreed; every site has a bias, and HN's is probably more moon-shooting than others. If you're not attempting to become a billionaire, it would be worth your time to ask these questions around other places where solopreneurs hang out like indiehackers.com.
I came here to recommend particularly Rob (and host emeritus, Mike)'s podcast, https://startupsfortherestofus.com/ . It's tactical instead of strategic, so sometimes that means the older episodes don't apply as well anymore, but they have a "greatest hits" list of episodes with content that's more evergreen.
I’ll second this advice, and add that he recently released a new book, “The SaaS Playbook”. It has a lot of concrete advice for the kinds of issues OP is asking about. Never met Rob and not getting anything out of the recommendation; I just really enjoyed the book.
