A business mentor for Zahra's new language school in Surakarta
A short monthly mentoring call on pricing, suppliers and bookkeeping would help a first-time founder.

I'm launching a language school in Surakarta next May. 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 language school, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
