It requires a lot of things to hit that home run: plan, idea, money, 24/7 work, frugality, time, execution, people, passion, perseverance, timing, marketing, technology, mentor, health, balance, fun and focus.

Long, thankless days of hard work  (sure you are building something of great value, but don't expect to hear "Thank You" from anyone until they use your products and services and even then...) 2. Upfront and ongoing investment of money and resources  (what, you thought you don't need to invest your hard-earned money to start something. Welcome to the real world!) 3. Bank loans and growing debt that could ruin you financially  (enough said, watch out! you may have to tell your creditors to wait and wait and wait... until they get antsy) 4.
