Not sure what to do or where to post!

I have been asked many times "Why don't you create a consulting business with all the experience you have?" I don't know where to post this idea on BP or know where to get offline advice to get direction to offer my experiences to individuals or companies that could use my 30 years experience. I would like to know how to set up an identity, promote, and operate as an independent consultant to firms or get hired on with a company. Other avenues have been mentioned such as writing a book, instructional seminars, promotional dvd's, a consultant website, etc.

MY brief resume is as follows since college 1985: new home sales, licensed realtor then broker, new home sales manager and regional manager, company VP sales & marketing for home builder, owner of 3 LLC companies (home building, land developer, real estate brokerage), residential design, estimating, purchasing, construction of small commercial buildings, meetings with city officials bankers and engineers, mortgage banker, consultant to individuals starting own home building and real estate companies, investor in purchasing and rehabbing residential homes, property manager, project manager of rehabbing investors homes, wholesaling, land trust deals, HUD/VA reo properties, BPO's.

Is there anyone on BP that can point me in the right direction that can offer advice?
