1. You must start planning far in advance by thinking about the makeup of your practice (type of practice, type of clients, type of law) and looking at the viability of each possibility.

2. Will you be able to bring in enough business to support your practice?

3. Start setting up your support system of mentors and get a feel for what solo and small practice life is like.
