Planing is a must, do survey of the business you are likely to do to know whether it suits you, know the negative aspect of the Business you have chosen to do, keep capital ready, give lots of advertisement to create good will. Be sincere, follow the law of the land at least when starting a business, use your mind not heart, I mean no place for emotions, profit must be your motive. Try to be unique in marketing. Have patience, perseverance,positive attitude, work hard, have hope.
