Mthunzi is opening a garage and needs a mentor who has done it
A short monthly mentoring call on pricing, suppliers and bookkeeping would help a first-time founder.

I'm launching a garage in Johannesburg 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 garage, 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts, Mthunzi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Cairo.
Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Johannesburg. Hope you're open again soon. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
