From my exp/knowledge, most important to start doing business.
- 99% of ideas end just ideas, nothing done, just from some foundations mistakenly considered, doing will be too boring, or not worth time/money/etc.
Unfortunately, books and academia, not too helpful, because, usually, books written and academia running, by people, who are not successful in business, but good in write books or in teaching.
Next important thing, don't screw up. Meaning, even experienced people make epic mistakes, which are really easy to avoid.
But for this need to be experienced and open minded, this is not easy. When you do sales, your skin becomes thick and solid, because you lot of time hear refusing, but in product dev (on service even more!) you need to have powerful closed loop with client.
So, in conclusion, two main business principles:
1. hear your clients, who pay money.
2. start/stop easy.
