A business mentor for Frieda's new catering business in Leipzig
A short monthly mentoring call on pricing, suppliers and bookkeeping would help a first-time founder.

I'm launching a catering business in Leipzig next October. I have saved the start-up funds myself, but I have never run a business before. I've questions about pricing, suppliers, simple bookkeeping, hiring and - frankly - how not to burn out.
I'm looking for a mentor with real small-business experience, ideally in a catering business, willing to have a monthly call for the first six months. I'll bring a list of questions and my numbers.
If you have a few hours a month, and enjoy helping someone avoid the mistakes you made, I'd really appreciate it.
I hope life is good to you.

- 1 hour a month
