I created my company at 18yo while being a programmer/geek. For me the utmost important thing is to focus on communicating with people (employees and customers). Being a CEO is 99% human management.
For someone like me, with poor social skills and mostly "logical brain", it was really hard. I say "was", but after 16 years, it still is.
Also, while it might seem "good", don't try to manage your company like family. You will have to take difficult decision, you will hurt people. Just be straight and honest with people.
Treat human problem first. Speak one on one with every human around you on a regular basis. Be discrete and protect everyone's privacy.
Finally, find someone you can exhaust to, you will rage, you will cry, you will feel lonely, and if you don't have support, you will perish. For me it was/is my wife but I find myself lucky.
