But I guess only those things won't make you reach where you really wanted. With my experience I learnt that with you working all alone won't make any difference. You need to have a game plan in first place. By game plan I mean, some paper work before you go ahead and implement that. Secondly and most importantly, one should not loose focus I suppose what was penned down in that game plan. (Until unless you really are forced to incorporate extra). Else that list of things in the paper will just go on. Finally, you need to have a team for yourself. I personally feel by just being a coder won't take you anywhere. A good designer is must, you cant survive and woe people without a good layout (No matter what you do). Further a marketing person who can handle that side for you. Apart from this if you really think your web startup will scale, you will need a DB Admin person. Else get ready for the graveyards. Rest Prateek already wrote down :) Well I support what prateek has just said. But I guess only those things won’t make you reach where you really wanted.

I would like to add another point to your list. You also have to do the stuffs which you would have never done if working at an established office. Important being Company registration, legalities, Tax payment and also Patent related stuffs if you are dealing with a Novel idea etc. Prateek,
