Grand Rapids
I'm launching a catering business in Grand Rapids next August. 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 four 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Ikeja

          Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.

            so sorry you're going through this. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Sent it to 4 people at work.

            • Sita Ganga Bista

              hope you get there. Please keep us posted. All the best

                shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Grand Rapids.

                  It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Vadodara

                    Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                    • Michelle C. Valdez

                      Rooting for you. Hope the shop reopens soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
