You hit the nail on the head with a huge question, not sure if was on purpose or not but well done.
Your question is much more important than learning code even for a long time. That is a good start. Even super great developers never solve a real problem.
Solving a problem, demonstrating a business model and creating a successful start up are -to my eyes- more and less the same thing and takes years of extraordinary hard work, much more work than people at an office could even imagine.
My advice, watch all these videos are amazingly useful http://startupclass.samaltman.com and try to attach as much as possible to the advices.
