What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
I am in the middle of a divorce after being married for 24 years. My husband decided to take a large amount of money back on 9/2015 without my knowledge which means he's lied to me for half our marriage. I just found out about this 5 months ago. We have two successful restaurants. I am sure I will acquire one of the restaurants. My role in the restaurant was more of a supporting role as I was raising our 2 children. All the recipes are chosen and developed by me, I've created our website, designed both restaurants, have quarterly Manager Meetings, etc., etc. I am looking for mentorship in the areas of Leadership, Record Keeping, Developing Our Customer Base & Sales.
Actions I’ve taken so far
I am getting a divorce and continue to perform my usual tasks. I find I need mentorship and need to prepare for the time that I will be running one of the businesses on my own.
My future goals
My future goals would consist of opening a few restaurants and having the first one be partially owned (%) by my long term employees. I am also interested in possibly opening a Medical/Recreational Dispensary.
My motivations to work with a mentor
My motivation to work with a mentor is to successfully lead my staff and manage the restaurant in a successful manner.
