    You also need to be in touch with reality. Know when to shut it down and move on to something else.

    Experience and skills are irrelevant. You can hire talent. The 3 most important are:

    1. Long term vision – You must know how you want you company to look in the long run.
    2. Ability to communicate well with others – employees, vendors, customers.
    3. Leadership abilities – Inspire confidence in your employees and stability with your customers.
