Anyone up for a cup of coffee and some think tanking?

I saw the post asking for a stove on this section, and if this is in the wrong place, please move it, but I need to ask something of the forum myself.
Posted on another thread, but maybe that was in the wrong place....sooo
My wife and I would like to have a business going here. In fact, we have to get some sort of an idea in action real fast here and get it going.
Many of you know I'm a LHS class of '68 and my wife is 5 yrs younger. We have little one a year and half old. We thought we had the world figured out, when we did have a business going for near 15 yrs, and when 9/11 hit, circumstances related to it, pulled the rug out from under our business, and we ended up without one, savings gone yada yada yada. Now we need to to figure out what would go over and succeed here.
The odd thing, is we've exhausted the "who can we talk to" avenues of "services" on all levels, and found that people in our position don't HAVE anyone to talk to.
We need someone to bounce some ideas we have, off of, who could advise us yay or nay...then we would need to find some start up monies if required.
This is what is frustrating. I have several ideas, but no one to sit on my front steps with, and yak about them, and get 1 or more of them going.
No brothers, sisters, etc.
We need to provide for our little one, now and for sure give her and ourselves a future.
I firmly believe in our city, I believe that it offers a potential for many things, and the thread on family busineses is helping give some "hope" by just reading it, altho that's not the thread's theme or intention I know.
Anyone care to pull up a seat on our front steps and hear some ideas like SOON? Like TONIGH? No we wont hit on anyone for money, *so no one needs to be scared of that*...Maybe give us a yay or nay on some? I'll provide the coffee/pop/whatever to drink .. and a great front step ...
To quote the teacher in the movie "3 o'Clock High" .."Anyone, Anyone, Anyone, Anyone? "

P.S. I'm not asking for a pro consultant here, just someone who's in business(s) in Lkwod, and is willing to listen and give a few thumbs up or down on some ideas.

Anyway, I like to brainstorm and this sounds cool and fun and (hopefully) useful. I would join in on such a discussion. If it happened when I could get out (I have a new wee one in the home as well... 
). If I don't get to join your kafe klatch, though, good luck!
