If you were to start all over, knowing what you know now.

This is my second post, I really got feedback on my last one very much so an enjoyed the realism and straight direct approach of the feedback that I received so thank you for everybody who reply and have replied in the past. It really helped me understand that I actually need a real plan and direction. Without that how could I see the end of a goal so thank you very much.
If you were to start a business in IT , infield cable setup/helpdesk network setup and administration, let's say you have a office located that can fit 8 people in total with there own office and some in the 3 of these are big enough to double up if needed, Where would you start in your social networking and what position to fill would be your main priority to fill?
I hear the best start to a startup business is hiring people smarter than you and f.a.i.l-ing First Attempt In Learning, and i know the market isn't exactly hot right now for businesses so i am stating this topic as a hypothetical in a manner of speaking.
Thank you for reading and sharing your opinions.

It's not easy to run a successful business. Most wont make it even 5 years.
You need to first learn how the job is done and then how a business is run before even trying. Easiest way to learn how the job is done is to work somewhere similar to what you want. Easiest way to find out how a business is run it probably to be in some kind of management position in that company.
Hiring smart people sounds like a great idea but if they're smarter than you, why wouldn't they run their own business? Why would a smart person work for someone dumber than they are? I'm not saying they wouldn't - I'm saying you need to figure out a reason why they should.

Smart people does not mean business smart. It is a different thing.

Everyone who works for me is smarter than me, I'm the only one dumb enough to own the place.
