there is a decent business forum on [styleforum.net](http://styleforum.net) you’re likely not going to find what you’re looking for though. most people who have the time to talk about the stuff you want to talk about on a forum have better things to do than discuss that stuff with strangers on-line. business decisions or advice is superlatively subjective and most of it is hypothetical or complete bullshit. the only advise worth taking is from people who have been through the shit and again; those people don’t talk about it on forums. Certainly not with enough frequency to just walk into a public forum and get right into it. ---

What kind of input are you looking for? When I go to the local Chamber of Commerce meetings its all business owners. I had to do a business start up plan in college, I used [bplans.com](http://bplans.com) for ideas. ---

Business school? Not everything can be learned from strangers on a message board. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Business school? > > Not everything can be learned from strangers on a message board. Meh, most of the people I knew in business school were just looking to get jobs with big corporations as analysts, marketing coordinators, etc. I didn’t meet many entrepreneurs. Maybe there are a lot more in graduate management programs. Actually, OP, maybe you should look into getting into UB’s CEL Program (Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership).
