Money or Expectations for the class

Taking a business class about how to start your own business, one expectation is that I would be able to leave the class and be able to make lots of money. Cause isn't that the American dream? Making money, preferably while doing nothing. 

While making money is always good and usually the main goal of a business, I guess that is not exactly the main goal of the class. So instead I need to find ways to help me earn more money. One of those ways would be in insight into how you actually go about starting a business. Myself having an idea for a product and needing to make a company to sell it, gaining some insight into how you can setup the company so failure is guaranteed. Or at least putting yourself in the best position to not fail.

Another way to go about making money, is what type of people you should be around, and have around your business. Should you take this challenge on alone? Take on an investor that has knowledge of what you are doing or just wander aimlessly until you happen upon some money. 

Another step in my plan for world domination, i mean expectations would be how exactly do you go about connecting with people to help you out. By this, i have heard of incubators for business, what exactly are those and how would they help me? And more importantly are they going to keep me warm?
