Fresno
I'm launching a photography studio in Fresno next June. 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 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

        Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Zhi. Small businesses are the heart of Fresno. Hope you're open again soon. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

          • I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Poznań!

            • Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too

              • Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 25 people at work

                • Hang in there, Zhi. Shared this with my family. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
