I would imagine that training would include everything from how to get business leads, how to deal with common problems with clients, and other industry-specific aspects of running a design company. I know that my business would be very different today had I gotten early training as opposed to learning the ropes through trial by error.
Has anyone considered establishing a consulting firm that helps someone establish their own design firm?
Hmmm, could that be interpreted as an oxymoron? :)

Ah, but we learn though trial and error which I feel is the best method. I'll agree, it's nice to have a Professional Peer and/or Peers around to assist in your growth. But, isn't that why we are here at WebmasterWorld?
Years and years ago I found "Networking Amongst Peers" to be the "absolute best" source of information. It still is today. :)
It seems as though there are a handful of books on the subject of starting a web design business, but they're dated. Has anyone considered establishing a consulting firm that helps someone establish their own design firm?
hmm... gears are turning in my head...
1. taking advantage of the global economy
2. how to communicate with those who don't speak english
3. relationship building with offshore companies
4. consultant versus developer
5. work smart not hard - we all have the same 268 hours in a week
6. developing RFP's, RFQ's, RFI's
7. project management for internet business
8. offline-online marketing; the 1-2 combo punch
9. my extensive list of quality, reliable offshore companies
10. closing the loop - all inclusive website marketing services
meh... maybe I'll put something together..
