Nice overview! There’s a lot of great information here.

One thing I’d add (and perhaps this could slot into the “Passion” category): You just need to do it. If you’ve got an idea and the passion, launch a blog or a small site and start tweaking and learning. The Web is a constant work in progress and once you acknowledge that, the limitations of traditional business melt away. It doesn’t take much money to start a decent site and there’s no better way to hone your skills that to build, learn and tweak.
