1. Be honest and humble in regards to your analysis of your game
2. Study 
3. Good BR management
4. Discipline (this can go in so many different directions but I"m specifically talking about hand selection when card dead and BR mgt again!)
5. Be patient (take your time and do it right...beat the small stakes before moving up and don't be to prideful not to go back down if you need a confidence boost or your BR says too)
 
All of these things I've had to learn the hard way.  I wish I had Belgo's advice a few years ago when I just KNEW I was a good poker players...and then busto!  a few hundred bucks down the drain.  To that point, I think the biggest thing I've learned is to look internally before blaming the bad beats.  
 
Example: I've had a recent stretch of bad runs in SNG's.  The latest being my set of Kings getting beat by a runner runner straight.  Bad beat; absolutely.  However, I thought about my play in this SNG...and remembered calling off about 20% of my chips trying to knockout a player with 36 suited in the BB.  Of course, I lost and that's the player that ultimately knocked me out.  So, I'm also to blame for the bad beat because if I don't commit 20% of my chips with that crap hand, I still have chips to play with after my bad beat and could've made a comeback.
