I'm launching a photography studio in Bandung 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 photography studio, 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        • wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Derry.

            • Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

                • Hope it all works out, Arief. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
