You know what I would do... Go to your local Small Business administration and talk with an admin there. They can help you refine your idea and get you resources. .
Google your county and "small business Administration". Depends on the county but they could be in the same place I would imagine if your town is small. Give them a call and a brief rundown of what you need- they are there to help people like us with small businesses. They are an amazing resource :)
O yeah that is true. I know this guy who works at one of those places. He used to always invite me to their networking events. It was pretty cool, each business could present their business and talk a little about what they do for around five minutes, and then there was food and coffee afterwards. I always went mostly for the food, but there were some interesting people there too.
Only problem is sometimes they (including myself) were very much interested in showing the others their business like a salesperson, instead of like trying to find out what you do, you know?
My business mentor Robert Hollis, well one of them, says to be good at networking and/or business you have to be sincerely interested in other people.
You cannot accurately "represent" others if you do not know what they are into. What makes them tick. And you will not care to know these things if people aren't your thing :)
Who do you know right now that is really good at teaching on entrepreneurial and business topics?
Hmmmm... What business and entrepreneurial topics specifically?
Like how to start a company, pitfalls, how to be successful, etc.

Interesting idea. You mean like the local chamber of commerce and industry?

That is absolutely true.
