A small question that involves many answers at once.
There are many things that are considered the most important ones in Business:
First is consider which business you will be involved, doing a business plan that evaluates if this business is viable.
Then working into all areas of business ( Operations, Administration, Marketing, Sales, etc. ). Researching heavily on your core business and the products/services you'll be selling.
The customers are important, because you could have the best company in the world, but without customers to whom you sell your p/s there is no business at all.
Also, your competition must be in your thoughts all of the time. What you do and don't do will define if you lose customers or win them from your competition. Your competition will do the same from you.
I strongly recommend you visit the site myownbusiness, it is free and will give you the answers you require to all the questions that you have now.
Good luck with your quest!!

The most important thing to know in business isn't really something you know. It's your drive; your determination; your will to succeed. We've all heard that If your "why" is big enough, the "how" will come naturally. It's true, and I'd say that it's the most important factor of success in general. But aside from that, I'd say that people skills are the most important. More specifically, knowing how people think, what motivates them, and how to persuade them.

Gosh, there are certainly a lot of things. But I think that the most important is knowing how to get, and keep, customers.

The most important value of any business is:
"Money runs up, bullchit runs down."
Keep that in mind, and everything should be fine.

Be a professional at all times.
This includes not bending ethics, being on time, dressing properly, the whole kit and kaboodle.

#1 Idea: Where's the value being added? (Your value add, your partners, suppliers, customers, employees, systems, etc.)
#1 Resource: Local chamber of commerce (From there, customers, financing, moral support, legal assistance, etc.)
#1 Book: Atlas Shrugged (believe it or not)
#1 Key Indicator of Short-term Success: Cash (vs. revenue, profitability, balance sheet strength, etc.) (What you want to watch)
