I'm launching a small online shop in Mombasa 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 small online shop, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

Rooting for you, Salim. Hope you make a strong comeback. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Salim. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mombasa.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
Wishing you the best, Salim. This could happen to any of us.
sending love, Salim. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Mombasa. I'll ask around and let you know!
