make sure the people you go in with are not sleeping together. (very important)
use someone else's money. that way when it implodes you won't be in the hole.
if you can't use anyone else's money, start out freelance and build clients, that will let you know if you have what it takes and give you a great base to start from
if you do have someone elses money, dont buy all the cool crap you can find. use the money to market yourself. the most high end equipment is all useless if you cant make money with it.
the most important thing is sales. if you dont have anyone that can close a deal, as well as dredge one up when you are workless, forget it.
if you hire people and they are not working out, get rid of them, fast. no matter the unemployment penalties.
my 2 cents, as i have help found a studio before. get ready for some pain, and learn to enjoy it.
