I'm launching a co-working café in Lagos next October. 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 co-working café, 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.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Lagos.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. God bless.
thanks for sharing this, Yinka. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Badagry.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Yinka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in East London but we're thinking of you. Love from East London.
Stay strong, Yinka. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. Love from Half-Way Tree.
thanks for sharing this, Yinka. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning. Love from Riverside
Thinking of you and your family, Yinka. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Lagos
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mumbai!
I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Coyoacán
Good luck. Small businesses are the heart of Lagos. Hope you're open again soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Sending love, Yinka. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Tarragona donated after I showed her your page
