Ryota is opening a small online shop 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 small online shop in Yokohama 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 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
