I'm launching a bakery in Sandton 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 bakery, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

take care, Mbali. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Iztapalapa so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Jakarta
