Colombo
I'm launching a dog-grooming salon in Colombo 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 dog-grooming salon, 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Rooting for you, Dinesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless

    • Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        Small businesses are the heart of Colombo. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Newcastle.

        • Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 30 people at work.

          • wishing you peace, Dinesh. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Paris this morning. God bless.
