Your questions is not stupid...but the answer is multi-factorial.

There are several places to start out. Certainly SCORE and SBA can help you with doing research and how to start. As far as websites, it really depends on your idea, if you are looking at something local vs global, etc.

Look at: location, demographics, who is buying and who isn't, what you can do that is different from everyone else out there (better service, better product, better presentation). You'll want to niche your idea down (you cannot serve everyone). Look at what it takes to start up and what your likely ROI will be.

Again, unless you want to create a job (and you don't if you have read Kiyosaki's books, I highly recommend Michael Gerber's books and websites.

There are only a few websites geared toward nurses in business that I am aware of.

http://nurse-entrepreneur-network.com/
https://nnba.net/

I'd start with LeaRae (first website) as she has ongoing support for nurses in business.

I also have a website, blog and consulting around business geared toward NPs. We often interview NPs (few times a month on Sundays) on business, and those are open to anyone who wants to listen. You'll likely find ideas here as well. Coming up will be an NP/CDE who does nutrition work.

Thank you for those links!
I am going to look into them, join their mailing lists and join them straightaway!
I am so done with traditional nursing and although realistically I am going to have to find a job when I go home the fact is I am going to agressively educate myself in entrepreneurship so that someday i can work for myself.
Thank you again
