You’re so happy to be making money. You could use some help since you don’t know what you don’t know.

It suits your style rather than being part of an impersonal mega-group. You want your awareness of business practices expanded because you’re not sure even what questions to ask. You’re working very hard and you’re excited because it’s your own business.
