New interpreneurs should first be confident of the future of their business but it doesn't mean that you don't need to focus on the job. The one common mistake a business man can make is that you are too excited in starting the business but you are not expecting to face the different situations that may takes place on your venture. Most businessman that face trouble and hardship in the early stage of the business give up that easily. So be ready to any circumstances that you might face in the business.
Make your customer your number one priority. Remember a good business think of what the customer really wants and not about what the business can take from them. Just always make sure that your customers is the one that keeps your business working so you must study how to keep your customer satisfied with the products or services you offer.
Lastly, make sure that you're expenses is lower than your profit. This one of the problem of many young enterpreneurs because when the money is on their hands they tend to expend it right away. You must live by means of your earnings and don't go to the boundaries. Try to save some for the future. Your investment may come in handy someday.
I hope you learn something from me. I am businessman too and I am hoping to make a new business soon.

1. Be dedicated and hands on with your business.
2. Don't get discouraged because it is usually harder at the beginning.
3. Treat your customers right. They will be the one to promote your business through word of mouth, but be sure they are satisfied with your services.
I'll try to think of some more. Hope this helps!

I'm 21 and I'm going to school and trying to start a business. I'm always open to new ways to make money, as long as the ethics aren't totally off. My best advice is to stay focused on promoting, building your business, and work as much as you can. It will definitally pay off.
