The firewood thread exposed a need on this site for some business mentorship. I've worked for myself running a business full time for 9 years now, I'm not a millionaire, I'm not an expert but I would gladly offer advice or mentorship to those who could use it if you PM me.

I'm not the guy who is going to make you rich overnight but I can freely offer some basic advice. I started with nothing built a small fortune, went broke from divorce and built back a second time. I've done it and simple straight advice helped me do it.

If anyone else wants to offer as well that'd be great.

That is a very nice gesture and offer. I hope some here that are new entrepreneurs take the opportunity to use your recipe for success.

You haven't lived until you have survived a divorce.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I'm in the outdoor green industry, I believe I could offer some insight into most of the service industry.

The living comes after, the divorce was brutal, I had cancer, the divorce was worse.

I don't really have a recipe other than work really hard. A few business owners gave me some basic advice when I started and it really helped, the advice I didn't follow cost me tons of time and money. I'm not rich, likely never will be but I do have enough experience to help others get started or encourage them through difficulties.
