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

I'm launching a catering business in Nairobi 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 catering business, 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

- 1 hour a month

Rooting for you, Mary. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care!
Take care, Mary. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. God bless
Stay strong, Mary. Small businesses are the heart of Nairobi. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Good luck, Mary. This could happen to any of us. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Nairobi.
