Mise En Place: Preparing with Books and Classes

I would love to own my own business. The safe and boring cocoon that is law school only encouraged me to day dream of ideas for start ups and solo firms as is planning my escape.

To prepare for my Steve-McQueen-esque lurch to the real world, I took as many business law classes (and entertainment with business applications) as my schedule would allow and I read books about solo firms and business (basically as much reading outside of law school as the reading inside law school would allow). Let's take a look:
