    I can't think of anything else that is truly a "must"...But something I find very handy that hasn't been mentioned is a multi-clipboard, like Spartan or Clipm8.

  • 1. Common sense, creativity and some brains

    2. An entrepreneurial attitude

    3. A "unique offer". Something you offer to the world that makes you different from everyone else. I'm not talking about a genius idea or product. It can be an excellent customer support, or a humorous attitude, or a narrowly-targeted service, or something. But at any rate you should NOT be doing what other thousand mindless drones out there are doing or else you won't be able to compete. There's got to be something unique to your offer.
