Toledo
I'm launching a bakery in Toledo next May. 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 bakery, 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 love, Aaron. Small businesses are the heart of Toledo. Hope you're open again soon. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

    • Novi Winda Setiawan

      You're not alone, Aaron. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bandung!

      • Hậu Tuấn Tran

        Thinking of you and your family, Aaron. Hope you get there.

        • Soo-jin Ji-hye Yoo

          Praying for you, Aaron. Hope the shop reopens soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Toledo.

              Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Blessings.

                Thinking of you and your family. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. God bless

                  Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Lagos

                    Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

                      sending love, Aaron. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

                        Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lahore.

                          Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
