The second thing a CEO should focus on is building a repeatable sales model. Some products "sell themselves" but most products need a lot of experimentation with the sales model until they become profitable.

That's arguably part of building the product. But I agree that it's very important and is one thing a lot of engineer-founders miss.

One could say it is impossible to ship a product to market. If you don't know where that market is.
