Tips on putting a band together

Hi

I was wondering if you had any advice on how one should go about putting a band together.

I have talked to a lot of people, but generally due to scheduling issues, or trouble finding specific members, things always fizzle out.

Is this something I'm facing because I'm simply not a good enough player? I was in 3 bands before the virus hit but 2 of them were fizzling out anyway.

What's your experience with people who 'made it'? Were they simply so exceptional when they started playing in bands that they found amazing people right away, or was it a struggle for them too?
