Durham
I'm launching a farm stall in Durham next February. 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 farm stall, willing to have a monthly call for the first six 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.

      Thinking of you, Denise. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Móstoles.

      • Pallavi Joshi

        keep going, Denise. Small businesses are the heart of Durham. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Colombo.

        • Samuel G. Santos

          good luck. Hope you get there. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Durham.

            Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
