That's a good starting suggestion, I would add to that... Forming businesses is better from a base of current employment, because people need basic income to sustain themselves in the 1st year startup phase, otherwise it's hard to focus on the business. But the forming groups together is a good idea, and then forming Cooperatives, is the lest developed opportunity these days. A cooperative is just a legal structure, think of it as a hybrid between a company and non-profit if you like don't worry about it too much! so what you do is develop your 1 page business plan as per usual, and maybe when revenues get between $1k-10k a year incorporate as a cooperative, do it with the goal as part-time work for members to start so that everybody participating gets something out of it starting out, pick a market you can sell to, start with the first sale in mind. Start the group online social media, and of the people online group, some would want to meet to discuss further. Do it people!
