I'm launching a language school in Philadelphia next November. 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 language school, willing to have a monthly call for the first three 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. Thank you for reading my story.

      Take care, Nolan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Nashik.
