I'm launching a bakery in San Diego next January. 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 four 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.

    Hang in there, Stella. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

          thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care.

            Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Peoria!
