What would be the best course of action to create my own engineering firm?

Some specific things I would like to know are: What classes would be best to expand my knowledge? What are some sustainable companies that might have internships available? What is it like working at an engineering firm? What are the steps to opening one? I really believe I have a vision for the future and I would love to work hard to see it happen.
