Looking for a small-business mentor, preferably with bakery experience.

I'm launching a bakery in Birmingham next August. 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.
I hope life is good to you.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. Hope the shop reopens soon. My husband and I read this together. Love from Toronto.
Stay strong, Diya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Hope it all works out, Diya. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 22 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Denpasar.
Praying for you, Diya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Sending good thoughts. Small businesses are the heart of Birmingham. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hang in there, Diya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope it all works out, Diya. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
wishing you peace, Diya. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Keep going, Diya. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
