I'm launching a small online shop in Reading 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 small online shop, willing to have a monthly call for the first three 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Sarah. Your post was clear and honest!
Wishing you the best, Sarah. Small businesses are the heart of Reading. Hope you're open again soon. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending strength, Sarah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Sarah. Hope you make a strong comeback.
Take care, Sarah. Hope you get there.
Wishing you peace, Sarah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Jerusalem
Good luck, Sarah. Hope you make a strong comeback.
