GREAT post! Absolutely awesome (and inspiring, given that we are in the 100-300 signups per day camp at RescueTime).
I would throw in my omnipresent "think viral, if you can". Viral stuff doesn't easily translate to all businesses, but I literally know 3 or 4 guys who have gone the "build it and they will come" route with blog widgets and facebook apps. If you build a blog widget that people want, you can pretty much just sit back and watch customers accumulate (not that you SHOULD).
Of course, monetizing businesses like that is another story. And because it's so easy, it's crowded as hell. But if you can add a sprinkle of virality (like the "Proudly powered by Weebly. Create a free website." on the footer of weebly sites) that's a big deal.
