What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I want to grow my business and venture into a storefront location. I'm currently looking for help in developing m business and help with marketing and finance. The financial portion of my business is my weakness as far as pricing and earning a fair profit. I really need help with crunching the numbers and finding ways to decrease my cost to increase my return. I also need help with marketing via social media and growing my social media network as well as website development.
