The requirements mentioned in the first two answers are definitely needed. But I believe that the first requirement is a group of potential customers, your target market.
Most potential business owners want to start with a product, but that’s backward. You may spend loads of time finding and developing a product and then discover that you can’t reach your target market or successfully market it.
So start by identifying a target market that shares something in common with you. Then learn everything that you can about your target market members.
Hang out where they congregate both online and off line. Listen for what concerns them, for their unmet needs, for their hopes and frustrations.
Join in on the conversation to flesh out their needs and then develop a product to meet their needs. Keep communicating throughout the development process to assure that you are developing or finding a product that is just what they want.
Through this communication, you are basically pre-selling. When your product is finished, many of your contacts will be ready to buy.
You can also query your target market members as you develop your marketing strategy and tactics and get your potential customers feedback on how to market to them.
This approach will increase your chances of success.

Lukas, This is a great question, and I am sure that you will get many different answerer’s. I would suggest that you develop yourself personally more then you develop your business. I mean to be a millionairee you have to think and act like a millionair. I suggest that you look at a few good books.
One is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, another is
The Richest Man in Babylon. also See you at the Top by Zig Ziglar. I also would advise you to remember that it will take work to build a business, to attract the customers and to make sure that you keep the leads or potential customers coming in. So some study in Marketing would be good.
I know from my own experience that it is not a easy thing to do and life is tough, but if you are tough on yourself then life does get easier.
I wish you much success
To be successful in any business you should have a passion for it and love doing it. A good business plan needs to be drawn up and it would serve as a guide to your operations. This aspect is very necessary.
