Work on your math skills. Math is at the heart of everything, and the more techniques you know- the more tools you'll have in your arsenal to build and invent cool things.
Practically there are many business reasons why you would want to develop mathematical knowledge, but I'll list only one: most of the ground-breaking research requires high level math knowledge to understand and so much of the knowledge in academic papers would work as a viable startup business.
There is actually a staggering amount of knowledge locked away in papers that is just waiting for entrepreneurs to take the next steps and bring it to industry. But this tends to happen very slowly! Part of the reason is a lack of qualified and motivated people willing to execute. Since the researchers themselves are more focused on research and tend to move on after experiments and PoCs.
It's up to us to take that work and build products that solve real problems!
