Solve a real problem and keep it simple.

First off, congratulations on a great job with this site and the many valuable hints and tips by the many entrepreneurs featured. I've been starting and running mostly IT companies in UK, US, Asia and Sweden during the last 25 years (yeah, an oldie here;).
I have also started a social entrepreneurship initiative in South Africa to support disadvantaged entrepreneurs - it's a not-for-profit Trust called Afriversity.org and you are welcome to join!
If it's one thing that I can recommend anyone starting a business, is to know what problem you are fixing. Having that laser focus and delivering a simple solution to the problem is key when starting out new. You have scarce resources and you must manage your time well.
