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

I'm launching a language school in Dodoma next September. 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 six 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.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format

thinking of you. Hope you get there. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Dodoma.
thinking of you, Esther. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bakersfield but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you, Esther. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
So sorry you're going through this, Esther. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Yokohama so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dodoma.
So sorry you're going through this, Esther. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Esther. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Esther. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 40 people at work. Blessings
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Embakasi.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Salem.
