I found an interesting blog that is run by The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council. One of their guest authors, Thomas M. Sullivan, is the Chief Counsel for Advocacy at the U.S. Small Business Administration.Thomas is probably a pretty good resource to learn from.
From the SBE blog, Thomas writes:

pleased that the results show an incredible confidence in small
business."
