I'm launching a bakery in Dresden next November. 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

Keep going. Hope the shop reopens soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Half-Way Tree.
Wishing you the best, Simon. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Toledo.
Hope things get better soon, Simon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
thinking of you. Hope the shop reopens soon. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal. All the best!
Stay strong, Simon. Hope you get there. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Dresden.
Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Dresden. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles
Hope you make a strong comeback. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hope you make a strong comeback. Put this on a community board in Recife this morning. God bless
Take care, Simon. Small businesses are the heart of Dresden. Hope you're open again soon!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Warangal but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone, Simon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bogra.
