Kinondoni
I'm launching a co-working café in Kinondoni 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 co-working café, 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. I hope life is good to you.

      Hope things get better soon, Opio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      • Rooting for you, Opio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

        • Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier.

          • Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kinondoni!

            • rooting for you, Opio. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
