You need;

An intel-based Mac
Snow Leopard if you want the latest SDK's
At least one device to develop with
A Paid Developer License
A business license and possibly insurance (Depending on your location for both, also depending on if you plan on using a company name or your legal name).

Aside from that, spare time to develop apps, and some skill with Objective-C.

You don't necessarily need a business licence - one can apply for a Personal Developer Account.

Also, I would add couple more things:
- perseverance
- lots of books
- lots of podcasts (free) and videos
- a boss with lots of cash to send you to training courses

But most of all you need patience. Overnight success takes 20 years to achieve.
