Steps

Develop a desire to break away from the crowd. You need to have the courage to make use of your idea. A dream, and an unfathomable desire to achieve that dream, are the two basic aspects needed to succeed in business.
Find your niche. This should be something you are knowledgeable about and have an interest in.
Persevere through setbacks. If you let little roadblocks deter you, you'll never make it in life.
Learn from your mistakes, and try to avoid repeating them. Treat every crisis as an opportunity to learn and perform.
Maintain self-discipline. When you own a business, you get freedom. Quite often this freedom paves way to complacency. Your business will only survive if you buckle down and work at it. You have no one to answer to but yourself.
Commit to your business idea and to all those people who are part of your plans. These can be your employees, friends or family members.
Be patient. No tree gives fruit overnight. For the fruit to appear, the tree has to undergo several phases. Similar is the success in any business venture. You need to be patient to reap the fruits of your toil. You need to keep your effort through the lean phase. You need to be steady and focused.
Be flexible. A brilliant idea alone will not ensure success in business. You need to learn to adapt your idea to the present day needs. Your idea should reach maximum customers with ease. In the initial years, customers will not come to you. You need to take your product or service to the customer.
Be prepared to answer any questions from the customer i.e. "What is there in your product or service that other people do not have?" If you have a solid answer to this question, you are right on track.
Realize that all business involves a certain amount of risk. So, you should be prepared to face the risk. You must have some financial backing to look to when things go wrong. Never invest your entire fortune in a new business. Look into all available financial options. It is also wise to take the advice of professionals in financial matters.
