You're right capital is not the first requirement but having the idea about how to make a successful business is where everything lyes, because you can't wake up one day and rise capital and all of a sudden you commence a business this way the business won't last long not to talk of getting to the middle sometimes the business can just collapse one week after. So before attempting to invest into any business you must take your time to learn and master some strategies to enable you carry out a good business and one other thing that every business man or woman should learn is how to manage your capital I have seen a lot of business woman that started thier business with a little capital but looking at them this current stage there business have grown big like 10x the way it was before, so that's the perfect example of a good business woman.
