Great idea! I wish you the best of luck with your Squid School for small business owners! I'm planning to open a store on eBay so when everything is set and ready, maybe I'll enroll in your school so I can have a great lens about my eBay business. If you have the time, kindly drop by this site about small business software that I also find quite helpful. It has some tips on where to get inventory software for your small business. Cheers!

I like the idea of a webinar or squidinar: Where squidlets could ask major squidsters questions and receive online tips. Somewhat like a squid-blog or group.
