Alcalá de Henares
I'm launching a dog-grooming salon in Alcalá de Henares next July. 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 dog-grooming salon, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

1 hour a month
