Experience in the Field
This one is tricky because while you want to follow your passions, they might not be aligned with what you currently do, so it might be a completely new field. Or, you could be lucky and already have that experience, either way, it is always recommended to have a good grasp over the niche you’re trying to conquer. If you don’t have the experience yet I suggest you go and get it; get a part-time job, talk to entrepreneurs and employees in the field, get close to your target demographic, etc.

Good Communication
Don’t think that because you’re planning on an online business that you can let this one go by. Communication is, arguably, one of the most important skills you’ll develop as you learn and acquire experience. The ability to communicate effectively, in an honest and friendly manner might even take you further than the nature of your product/service. Not only is it good for client interaction but it will also allow you to have relationships with manufacturers, vendors and distributors that you will meet as your business grows.
