I'm launching a garage in Addis Ababa next December. 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 garage, 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills

Wishing you the best, Selam. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Surat this morning.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Pretoria so I could bring a meal
Sending strength. Hope you make a strong comeback. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nottingham this morning. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
