Creating an operation that can scale faster than the input of my own time.
You mentioned the two main problems. Everything after that is easy sailing . Many of us are still struggling to solve the first two.

Finding developers and learning how to build a SaaS as a Non-Dev. Two things that I would have done differently now would be to get a full mockup/clickable UI done with an experienced UX person and also done a database/schema layout before starting. 20/20 hindsight. But given that a year and a bit ago I didn't know those terms or how to start I feel like I've come quite a ways.
Finding correct packaging and international shipping from India has been a logistical nightmare for us as of now.
Honestly, acquiring users is the problem and is tedious and tiring but nonetheless important. I think finding motivitation to update and improve your product is the second most difficult part.
