Bongani is opening a small online shop 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 small online shop in Durban 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 small online shop, willing to have a monthly call for the first four 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.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Bongani. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Durban. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Bongani. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together.
rooting for you, Bongani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best!
Sending love, Bongani. Small businesses are the heart of Durban. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.
