A mentor would help me to learn what steps to prioritize and what challenges are foreseeable. A mentor could help me establish ideas on how to create a business plan and the necessary steps to take after that.
About my venture
To open and run a beauty boutique specializing in black hair and beauty supplies and products. I have taken steps to secure the name and have acquired lists of vendors and supplies, started making appointments with mentors and training sites. My goal is to be in operation both on line and in store by the beginning of 2020 or before.
