-you have to LEARN how to do new shit. If you have this "ahh i dont need to learn that" mentality, get out before you even start.

-network with other webmasters. (keep a clean rep too.)

-takes money to make money. be prepared to shell out cash for hosting, domains, a design here and there, and other useful tools to help you along the way.

-read & learn something new in this biz everyday. its constantly changing, so keep up or get out.

if you cant handle all of this PLUS more, dont even bother starting.

If you think you can, well then, welcome to the biz.
I agree... but depending how you do things, if you put in those 8-12hour days at the start... you should be working, less, and less and less.

I am at a computer no more than 3hours/day, doing the same stuff that use to take me 8-12hours/day.
