eh, with business... it's not so much what skills you can't get... as what you don't want to do.
I'm all for helping technical people negotiate from a strong position... but personally, were I able to send messages back in time to advise myself before going in to it? I would advise taking on a business person.
It's a lot of work, and perhaps more importantly, while business people /say/ they have this "give 110%" or "can-do" attitude, in reality? if it looks like you aren't going to make money, they are gone in a flash. And frankly? that's a good thing.
