Start learning how to figure out what your customers want. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how pretty or scalable your code is if it doesn't solve real problems. I'm not saying that you shouldn't learn how to be a great developer, but a lot of great developers end up working for a series of companies that build cool technology but don't do well. Ask whether you can sit in on calls with customers, either prospective or current. You will find out what they want, and whether your product is solving their problems.
