1) Creating any business is hard, unless you sell blue meth.
2) Creating two businesses is even harder (bootstrapping + consulting to make a living).
3) Technical hurdles are getting easier but rarely does the best product win. Marketing is hugely more important that product, although I wish that wasn't true.

I suspect you'll find even the meth business is tricky. Indeed, I believe there's a popular TV series about it.
Serously, Breaking Bad is an excellent primer on entrepreneurship. It covers everything: distribution, marketing, negotiation, finding business partners, scaling, exit strategies...
