I am going to mention only three qualities to keep it simple although there are many more. The three are drive, vision and skill.
As for drive, this is the most crucial because without drive there will be little to keep you going. Drive itself requires motivation and reason. Hence, to build and maintain drive, you have to sit and outline powerful reasons, incentives and motives for starting out your home based business. These reasons will of course be financial and emotional. To be financially self-sufficient and independent. To have more free time. To spend time with your spouse and children. So all of these incentives must be brought and kept in mind in order to build and maintain drive.
Drive itself is connnected to vision. You must have a vision, as in a set objective as to where you want to be. This vision must not be far-fetched and exaggerated but nevertheless, a bit ambitious, because a bit of ambition is good and gives you drive to pursue that ambition. You have to sit down, close your eyes and see yourself having already realized your vision. By constantly keeping this vision running through your mind throughout the day, your mind subconciously organizes and orients itself to direct your activities in the right direction to help reach that vision. I might be getting into psychology here, but believe me, when you have set goals and visions, the organization and implementation side of things tend to fall in place nicely.
Finally we come to skills. To have a successful home business, there must always (or almost always) be a skill involved. Since you will be offering a service or some goods to others, then you will either have the skill yourself, or you will be outsourcing it, or you will be managing it in some way or another. There are many types of business models and plenty in which just generic skills such as efficient organization (as opposed to skills tied to a profession or craft) are sufficient to get a business up and running. It is always best to identify what core skill or skills you will need to get the business up and running, and that skill may just be being organized. With the Internet there are so many business models and platforms available many of which do not require you to have any professional skills, and hopefully, I will cover these in other articles.
As I said, there are more qualities than just these three, but these three are ones you need to pay attention to at the beginning. Being organized and disciplined as a generic skill is crucial to any business. Hence, I've made mention of it above.
