Kikuyu
I'm launching a small online shop in Kikuyu 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 small online shop, 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      thinking of you, Ruth. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kikuyu.

      • Barasa Ouma Mwakyusa

        Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Caxias do Sul so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Kikuyu.

        • Larissa Rafaela Freitas

          I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Novosibirsk.
