Asif is opening a co-working café and needs a mentor who has done it
A short monthly mentoring call on pricing, suppliers and bookkeeping would help a first-time founder.

I'm launching a co-working café in Dhaka 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 co-working café, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

you're not alone, Asif. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Good luck. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dhaka
Good luck, Asif. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
