All Capitalists and potential Capitalists,

First off, I am a newb to the Entrepreneurial arena. This is one exciting roller coaster. I've been doing so much research my notebook and business plan brainstorming Sterno looks like a horror story. Anyways, on to the meat of the thread.

I'd like to ask all of you a question: What are the top 3 problems associated with starting your own company? Now I know the basic creaky bridge to cross:

1. How do I gain traction to attract investors/customers?
2. How do I legally guard personal assets when going down this road?
3. Excetara, excetara....

What I really want is the not so known problems that I may encounter and potentially plan for when starting the engines. I would really appreciate any detailed info on what process you've done (or even plan to do), without specifics of course, and I'm sure this could be a great sticky thread for all future Entrepreneurs coming to this great Forum/Community.

Sincerely,
Nate-NewVenture
