Hello, Linda !
I would say, for business management advice, you've come to the right place - Career Village. There are many professionals here who are advisors for all types of college and career related information and discussion. It's free. Just ask your specific question with a bit of detail so the advisors can specifically and accurately guide you.
I would also suggest that you visit a small or medium sized business in your neighborhood and ask to speak to the owner. If the owner is available and receptive, introduce yourself and ask advice from the owner of a business.
Another place where you might find a business advisor would be at your local City Hall for which I have left the link to their website below. If you have a local Chamber of Commerce, the staff there will be helpful to you, too.
Keep in mind that professional Business Advisors charge for their services, so you will want to explore how you can do this without spending money since you are presently a student. Another way to do this for free is if you are in high school, contact the teachers that teach Business and ask for a meeting with one of them to discuss any questions you have. If you are in college, go to the Business Department and ask to speak with a professor.
I hope this is helpful, but remember that you must take active steps and communicate your needs. It will take active steps to obtain the information and understand what you need to do to start a business. Best wishes !

Hi Linda,
To get advice for business management, you can try various options. One of them is to take online/off-line courses in that subject. The theoretical knowledge will help you gain the necessary skills and be your own adviser!
Besides that, you can read relevant books/papers to get additional knowledge.
If you still need help from a professional business adviser, you can find one on various platforms via advising services.
All the best.

Hi Linda, check if you local library or city hall has any resources for advisors. It really depends on the kind of advice you're looking for - whether about education options, career opportunities, etc. The best way is to find a mentor to help you streamline your thoughts - asking the right questions is the first step to finding the best answers!

Hi Linda,
If you are seeking free advice on business management, my recommendation is to consider finding relevant business owners, entrepreneurs, etc. who have presented TED Talks, LinkedIn Learning, and business management experts which host regular podcasts. As also suggested, if you have access to public or school libraries, they can be a treasure trove of educational content in business management. If you are seeking paid advice, consider networking and reaching out to business management professionals open to paid consulting to pursue opportunities to interview for real world advice and examples.
Good luck and all the best!
