I'm launching a dog-grooming salon in Johannesburg 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 dog-grooming salon, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
- effort
- 1 hour a month

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family, Unathi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Johannesburg
Take care. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Anaheim.
Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Durham!
Keep going, Unathi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 38 people at work.
