What does it take to successfully start a business? Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be a workaholic. But you do need to enjoy work because there will be plenty of it. You also need to be a good seller since you will be selling your products to customers, your ideas to employees, and your dreams to financial backers. It's also important to be self-motivated, to work well with numbers (expenses, revenues, taxes), and to not be afraid to make mistakes.
