The big problem with consulting is that it takes so much /time/ and when you stop working, the money stops coming in. There is a lot to be said for owning a product business as your primary means of support.
Product companies often allow you to invest capital at a much higher rate of return. (I get several hundred percent return on my hardware purchases)
Product companies also allow you to avoid more of the work you don't like, and to work more on your own schedule. (Personally, I think it's quite a chore to wake up at the same time every day; as a product company, nobody cares.)
