A business mentor for Maarten's new small online shop in Eindhoven

A short monthly mentoring call on pricing, suppliers and bookkeeping would help a first-time founder.

I'm launching a small online shop in Eindhoven next June. 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 small online shop, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    hope things get better soon, Maarten. Hope you make a strong comeback. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

      Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

        Wishing you the best, Maarten. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Haifa so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nashik

          Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Mannheim so I could bring a meal. God bless!

            Good luck, Maarten. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Warren this morning!
