I'm launching a small online shop in Khulna next July. 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 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. I hope life is good to you.

  • Thinking of you, Sumaiya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best

      • You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Khulna.

        • Keep going, Sumaiya. Hope you make a strong comeback. Love from Aswan.
