I don't have an answer for you but I recommend that you pick an area you are interested in and develop a bootstrap business there. Once you understand your opportunities then you can get a better view of what you need to move forward. You need to crawl before you run.<p>The advantage you have is that you are not afraid to learn. Reading relevant books and dedication is what will move you forward. Also, make sure you don't try to do it all yourself, strengthen your weaknesses. You're smart but no one knows everything. Hubris will always be your downfall.
