It really depends what you want to do. Refining your skills a bit could quickly get you to the point where you can build out a testable prototype for a project. Bill Gates (I believe), talked about the hardest role to fill in a company is someone who is able to bridge the business side of things with the technical side of things. Coming from a business side first, you have a shot at being that guy. There's a lot of noise now about how everyone should learn to program. I don't think that's the case. It helps to be technologically literate (have a general idea of what people are talking about and what's actually possible), but actually programming isn't a necessity. It really depends on what you want to do. I haven't met anyone yet who regrets learning to code. The problem solving abilities you build when learning to code can help in a lot of other areas. It's a time investment, but you'd be amazed what you can pick up from an hour a day of consistent and focused learning/practice.
