Hello There,
What are the steps one need to take in high level, if he / she has a unique concept and want to build a block chain ? What are the points we need to focus and plan for ?

Thanks,

Knowing how to code would be very helpfull. And I  assume you don't know how to, so having a good team of developers, co-founders, and some seed investors who believe in your project is a nice place to start.

It takes years to build a decent project with a decent team behind, while building a basic blockchain nowadays takes 15min. Don't start a project because of the hipe of ICO's, you wont make it.

Good luck!!

I find this article at kdnuggets a nice intro .. for coders

To build a blockchain you need to understand the core concepts of one and how to build one using a code. You need to be basically very good in programming concepts and need to have knowledge in at least 1 programming language. A blockchain can be built in Cpp, Java, python etc. If you need to build a smart contract, you need solidity.  Your unique concept needs to address the problems prevailing in the community and if your concept solves all the problems, your coin would develop in price and you would get a lot of potential investors. If you are not a dev, then you need to hire a good dev for building a blockchain. You need to decide if you need to launch an ICO by pre-mining the coins by yourself!

A concept is not one which could be realised tomorrow, you need ample time to decide upon the problems and need to study a lot. First, you need to build a community of investors who would believe in you and invest in your project. Hire a good advisor who may help you in long term planning. If you successfully implement the long term roadplan, your coin would boom in the market.

If you need to build a smart contract, you need solidity. 

This is not entirely true. Solidity is not the only option. Etherium is not the only blockchain you can run smart contracts on.

You can do that on top of Bitcoin's blockchain too. Keyword: RSK.

and, for example, this thread:

If I were to start learning smart contracts, I would use RSK instead.
