Most Critical Skill

Question

What would you say the most critical foundational skill is required to run a small business?

Answer

I feel that the most critical skill in ramping up your own small business is sales and marketing.  Most businesses fail, not because of a flawed strategy or flawed product or service, but because of a lack of a sufficient level of sales.  Many would-be entrepreneurs fail to adequately answer the question of the value proposition: Why do I need your product/service? What value does your product/service deliver to me?  Why your company?  Why now?
