BZ,
A nice succinct article. The fact you mentioned getting a broad range of experiences is vital and often overlooked. Of course, practicing all the time is just as crucial. I have suffered under the teaching of people that may have been experts in their field but they were lousy in the classroom. I would add something to the article in general: seek out professionals in every area of the business you need. Accounting, advertising, instructional designers (I am one), every aspect necessary. My brother reminded me when I was in an endeavor: "You are in the business of being in business". Great article!!
minor correction: "Long and Winding Road"
