I'm launching a garage in Parma 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 garage, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

Thinking of you, Raffaella. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Sending good thoughts, Raffaella. Small businesses are the heart of Parma. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Love from Comilla
Thinking of you and your family, Raffaella. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Jodhpur.
Rooting for you, Raffaella. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Selatan this morning!

I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Parma.
Thinking of you, Raffaella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.

looking forward to the next update. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Raffaella. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Raffaella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
