I have seen so many people start businesses because they loved money not because they follow their passion. My only addition is: Be prepared for the roller coaster ride. The highs will be really great and the lows are like the end of the world. The people that seem to make it are the ones that block out the extremes and march towards their goals in a steady and consistent approach. I can’t agree with the first point enough.

One of the most important things one needs to do is to keep and open mind and realize that there are areas where others know much more. It is easy for someone to fall into the whole DIY trap, but there comes a point when they must recognize that it is more cost- and time-effective to call a pro. I wrote about this same topic back in June, and feel that it can act as an addendum to the original post: http://letsblogmoney.com/2008/06/16/starting-your-own-business-take-your-time-and-do-it-correctly/ There are so many things that would-be entrepreneurs need to be aware of, I’m not sure any one person can even come close to compiling a complete list.

You can learn a lot from meeting with someone successful in your market, even if they're your "competition." Connecting with smarter people is a great point.
