Sources to learn about how to open a business?
Q: Any good sources (Books, Podcasts, Blogs, YT) of how to open a business? All the sources which I can find are obsessed with Tech Start-Ups, what about opening tangible and conservative businesses (factories, real estate, etc.)?
Wharton Executive Education has a program on scaling a business, but I think the deadline has already passed to sign up.

Program ModulesModule 1:
Characteristics of a Unicorn — Yes, They Are Real
Begin by gaining a broad understanding of the program’s key concepts: the main characteristics of unicorns, myths of unicorns, growth limiters, and common mistakes.
Module 2:
Experimentation: Scaling the Organization
Learn how small companies can succeed even without all the resources large organizations have, and examine the latest research on conducting business experiments, how to make them successful, and how you can use them to continue to grow your organization to unicorn status.
Module 3:
Scaling Technology and Operational Resources
Discover the ways you can prepare to invest in the right operational and technological resources, including how to move from short-term to long-term considerations and how to think about modeling uncertainty.
Module 4:
Scaling Processes and Structure
Understand what problems processes solve and learn the advantages and disadvantages of formalizing processes. Then create a road map to identify and design processes that scale.
Module 5:
Metrics and Financials
Explore the framework for determining your organization’s readiness and ability to scale, as well as the metrics necessary before and after scaling to ensure that expansion is successful and sustainable.
Module 6:
