I'm launching a bakery in Salvador 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

take care, Valentina. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
best of luck, Valentina. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Yonkers.
Stay strong, Valentina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Wellington.

Sending strength, Valentina. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Embakasi.
This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Rome.
hope things get better soon, Valentina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Aberdeen this morning. Love from Aberdeen
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Salvador.
small businesses are the heart of Salvador. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Valentina. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Valentina. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together.
