Prepare yourself (You don't know everything just yet)
If you intend to start your own studio, don't. Not yet.
First benefit from other's who have done it before you. Find out about their successes and failures. Learn from their mistakes.
- Get a job. Gain experience from being around other professionals. Make yourself indispensable by showing how you add value to the company. Think about how to improve processes, add services and find new areas of revenue.
- Be a thinker. Think about the writing, user experience, and the project's overall impact.
- Be a sponge, not a Hoover. Ask questions, listen to the answers, and put them into practice.
