In the startup world- there are tons of skills I think entrepreneurs should have. Many include:

-Leadership skills
-Public speaking / Communication skills
-Sales/Marketing skills
-Business development skills
-Technical skills (i.e. design, user experience, programming/coding)

My question is- how do you go about trying to acquire all these skills? And, which ones should the entrepreneur focus more on mastering?

Also- I've realized that I have some sort of speaking anxiety. Therefore, should I go full-force and work on improving this and getting good a public speaking?
