I want to become a data scientist.

I'm great with excel, python and SQL, I know a little R, and I can use some of the standard DS libraries (ipython, numpy, pandas), but I feel like I'm lacking in math skills- I have a business degree rather than a quantitative degree (currently working as a business analyst).

What else do I need to get that Data meme money?

Should've majored in Economics, or Physics, or both.

>business degree
Then brush up on technical skills.

>I'm great with excel, python and SQL,
Nobody cares about excel.
Knowing Python is good, but do you have a general idea about programming? Could you pick up C or something like that quickly?
Everybody with an IQ > 50 is great with SQL. But could you set up a relational database? Do you have a clue about database normalization?

>Lacking math
Well... Data Science is all about Statistics basically. When doing datascience with machine learning there is also linear algebra going on. Math is the core of data science.

Take online courses on statistics and some theoretical cs shit.
