Say you were giving pointers to someone considering starting a small business. Where would you send them, what book(s) would you recommend, and/or what tips would you give?

If they're local, I would tell them to run, do not walk, to the Entrepreneurial Think Tank at Cambridge Career Source. Also, SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives), a free advising program run by the Small Biz Administration, but be sure to go in with your ducks (or at least your questions and goals for the meeting) in a row.

Seconded on SCORE, including that you should wait on that until you have specific goals, ideas, questions, etc.

Thirded. SCORE is a great resource -- but preparation is key to getting the most out of them.
