Ask HN: How good do you have to be to start a web consulting business?

I graduated from college (MS in CS) 3 years ago. I have around 3 years of Java experience. I had 2 years of PHP/JavaScript web dev experience while I was a student. I have a great interest in RoR/Ruby/JS and web dev. I built a couple of apps in the past year. This year I joined bloc.io and started working on my skills.

I want to start my own Ruby on Rails consultancy firm but I am not sure how good I am. What are some benchmarks I need to hit before I can confidently start a firm? My goal is to take on projects from clients and keep improving my skills and make decent money as well.
