What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

I'm wondering if I should scale my business up from a Facebook store into its own website. Need help in more cost-efficient shipping.

Actions I’ve taken so far

My business has so far been profitable. I'm currently working on getting the paperwork to get my sole proprietorship business license.

My future goals

Make $5,000 in profit by November 2021.

My motivations to work with a mentor

I want to work with a mentor who can help me expand my e-commerce business.
