Have you tried prioritizing your startup like you do your consulting? I'm sure you meet all your consulting deadlines and requirements. I'm addicted to consulting right now and I've been using it to help bootstrap my startup ideas as well. I don't think I'll be backing off consulting until my startup ventures actually make as much money as my consulting and even then the consulting dollars will give me more options in promoting my startups!

I love the variety of consulting so much that even after my ventures bring success I will still want to do consulting because it gives me that instant achievement satisfaction.

Don't focus on breaking free from consulting and before working on any other ideas get that first product released. Set milestones and treat it like your other work.

I'm still consulting until I get my own projects off the ground, my first launch took 1.5 years to finish, my next launch will be in a fraction of the time.
