Lille
I'm launching a catering business in Lille 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 catering business, 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.

  • You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

    • Take care. Small businesses are the heart of Lille. Hope you're open again soon. God bless.

      • Take care, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

        • You're not alone. Hope you get there. Greetings from Nairobi.

            So sorry you're going through this, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

            • Sending good thoughts, Thomas. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.

                Wishing you the best, Thomas. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

                • Sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

                  • Best of luck, Thomas. Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Lille.

                        • Good luck, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Juazeiro do Norte but we're thinking of you.
