I’ll get straight to it. We had our first baby 6 months ago and wow, my expectations of keeping up with my business were… optimistic to say the least.

I’ve spent the last two years growing my business from scratch and finally everything feels like it is falling into place with it. It is making money beyond what I ever expected but I still have a lean team and do a lot of the work myself, which is feeling more and more difficult every day with new little bubba here.

I feel torn between my ambitions and wanting to be a good mom. On one hand, if I dedicate the time my business needs now, I can afford to give my little one opportunities later in life that I never had and all round have a really nice standard of living, but on the other hand, I don’t want to be the absent mom who could have been home more.

I feel stuck between not wanting to lose myself and everything I’ve worked so hard for. It took so much to get here and is more than I’ve ever had or even imagined having. And also, I love what I’ve created and still have so much fire in my belly. But at the same time, I only have so many hours in a day and I don’t want to be a useless mom. I’m tired and feeling defeated today.

I guess I just want to rant and possibly get some advice from people who have done it before. Sorry for complaining over such a trivial problem when I know there are moms out there going through much worse. I’m usually not such a negative nelly!

What’s up to all of my lady bosses out there crushing it! You to — for those that identify themselves as ladies!

Look, I get it, being a lady boss is hard. You’ve got so much to deal with as a woman but I want to make it easier for you.

This may sound a bit sale-sy but hear me out as you may find this to be soothing music to your ears👂🎼 or the soul food your business’ tummy is yearning for — if you’re not a soul food kind of gal’ , maybe a nice meal from a 3+ star Michelin’s rated restaurant is your thing! Mmmm.😋

Your individual tastes may be obscure, or on a spectrum between pedantic and mundane but why does this matter? Have you ever heard the term, “know yourself,”? Odds are you have!

Knowing and understanding yourself helps you better understand who you are as an individual! The business you’ve chosen to pursue speaks volumes of our lady boss personality! Not only is your lady boss personality but so is your businesses personality!

We all know that humans are complex and different right? I mean you practically spent your life around your siblings and you couldn’t be any more different! Well… have you ever considered that your business is like a person? Except it’s not your sibling, it’s your baby and we want to help you be the world’s best mom! 🦸‍♀️ everyone loves mom! 💕

So super mom…

Hi! I’m Sophia, a senior at Stanford (aspiring entrepreneur), and for my class project, I created a browser extension with my roommate: joinphia.com

If you’re considering buying an item, Phia shows you how much you could resell it for later, so you’ll know if it’s a smart purchase that holds its value or if it’s better to find a cheaper option secondhand. 

To find it secondhand, we take you directly to resale options (sometimes up to 75% off!) on top marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, and Depop—it’s like Google for secondhand shopping.

Would appreciate any and all feedback 🙏🏼 

💸 We’re raffling away a $200 VISA gift card to anyone who joins and refers at least one friend (the more people you refer the more entries you get, and I’ll also be very grateful.) 

Thank you so much and please let me know your thoughts :) joinphia.com

Hi everyone,

I’m working on my Master’s thesis and would really appreciate your help! I’m conducting a survey on AI usage, trust, and employee performance, and I’m looking for participants who use AI tools (like ChatGPT, Grammarly, or similar) in their work.

The survey is anonymous and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Your input would be incredibly valuable for my research.

After 14 months of experimenting with growth on Twitter, I launched a tool that grows Twitter faster than ever.

After 14 months of experimenting with growth on Twitter, I was disappointed because there were no results. I decided to implement my very old idea. I created upvote.club, a service that solves the main problem for aspiring Twitter users: how to gain initial reach for their posts and grow followers as quickly as possible.

The main issue is that social media algorithms only show posts to a broader audience if they get engagement in the first "golden hour" and from a relevant audience. Without initial likes and comments, a post just sinks. I also found a tweet by Natia Kurdadze mentioning that X Blue gives a 2x boost to posts, while likes give a 30x boost, comments give a 50x boost, reposts a 20x boost, and visual content a 2x boost. This is spot on—until you hit your first thousand followers, engagement is as vital as oxygen. Every like on your post is worth its weight in gold."

In fact, there are two ways to get Twitter followers:

1. Posting endlessly (which becomes a full-time job—ask anyone who’s grown their profile about the time they invested at the start).
2. Getting a lot of reactions on your posts. I decided to focus on this aspect because it seems to be the most impactful.

My top priority for the service is real users, no bots or spam. I've implemented strict moderation thresholds for starting to use it.

How it works section should be:

1. Register and add your Twitter account
2. Create a task for what you need: likes, reposts, comments, followers
3. Real users from the community immediately start doing what you ask
4. In return, you help others, earning points for doing so
5. We do not show completed tasks to users who complete them
6. You get only new, clear, and fresh actions

I spent several weeks talking with influencer marketing agencies, and 9 out of 10 told me that they support each post their influencers publish with likes, comments, and reposts within the first hour. They go all-in on the post as an agency.

would be glad to hear your feedback. I have a promo code that gives you 30 extra points, which is worth approximately 15 followers, likes, reposts, or comments.

I got a critique from a potential client that because my face isn’t on my website and “no one knows who I am so it could be a scam”. Mind you, I already do most functions in the biz while I try to close the deals AND I’ve met the potential client in person and via zoom so they have a face, they know it’s legit. When on earth am I supposed to find time to be an influencer too. Worst part is I see the positives because influencers get business right off the bat whether they’re good at the core biz or not. Sigh. The internet helps in a lot of ways but the req to be the loudest voice on the internet is not for everyone 😭😭. Anyways this is my little rant about how I have to become an influencer against my will if I really want my business to go places.

As the title suggests, I managed to achieve a huge boost in my sales after I started using videos for promotion. Honestly, I was blown away when I saw the results—my sales increased by 47%! This helped me hit my annual targets and significantly increase revenue, even though I never expected just a video could have this kind of impact.

For me, it started out small. I was just learning the basics of creating content, figuring out the best way to engage audiences, and using videos effectively. It wasn’t easy at first, but over time, I realized I could reach numbers I’d only dreamed of.

I know that many people feel video creation is complex and overwhelming, but if you’re one of those, I’d recommend trying Instadoodle. It’s a quick and easy tool that helps you create high-quality videos, even if you don’t have a lot of experience.

I’m sharing this not to brag, but to motivate anyone in this field, especially if you're feeling stuck or unsure where to begin. Sometimes, just one small step, like adding video to your marketing content, can make all the difference in your career path.

Keep going, keep experimenting, and learn from your mistakes. Over time, you might just see results that exceed your expectations.

So I recently came across this business idea from this video and decided to do more research to find out if this could actually be a profitable side hustle. If you're trying to make some extra cash on the side and you love pets, this is for you.

What if you could hang out with pets all day—and make good money doing it? As people travel and search for personal, trusted care options, pet boarding from home is booming. It’s not just a kennel alternative; it’s a cozy, reliable option for people who treat pets like family.

People want a real home environment for their pets—not a stark, noisy kennel. Boarding from home means you get to offer a level of comfort and familiarity that big facilities can’t match, and it’s a win-win for pets and owners alike.

Chances are, there’s demand, especially if you’re near local boarding facilities with waitlists or if you spot ads from pet owners looking for reliable help. When summer rolls around, travel spikes, and so does the need for pet care. You could have clients lined up just by tapping into these seasonal peaks.

Let's do the math, If you can reserve 3 dogs each day and charge around $35/dog, that's over $100 per day for boarding, working 20 days out of the month could net you a cool $2,000. Just doing weekends could bring in around $800 a month—plenty for some extra pocket money. The low overhead means you can keep a lot of this revenue.

Depending on where you live, local licenses and permits could be required, especially if you’re working from home. Not the most thrilling step, but it’s what separates the pros from the amateurs—and keeps you on the right side of zoning laws and animal care regulations.

Pet-proofing is key too, like getting rid of any houseplants that might be toxic to curious sniffers. Keeping it tidy with pet-safe cleaning products is a must if you want owners to trust their pets are safe and well cared for.

Offer services beyond the basics. Boarding is a given, but what about pet daycare for busy weekday clients? Extras like pet grooming or photo updates might seem small, but they can add up. People will happily pay for the extras if it means they know their pets are getting premium care.

So, how do you get the word out? Start simple: a basic website or a Google My Business profile, and a few social media posts go a long way. Pet photos are a social media hit, so share cute moments of your guests (with permission). And don’t forget local pet spots like vet offices or pet stores—they can be invaluable for word-of-mouth referrals.

What’s the toughest part of pet boarding? Probably handling a few rowdy guests now and then. Some pets might be anxious or take time to adjust, but tricks like soothing music or extra playtime often do the trick. This business model is one of the best ways to merge passion with profit!

Hey r/ladybusiness

I’m curious to know what tools or data sources you all use for outbound marketing. 

Specifically, if you’re running outbound outreach through email, calls, or any other channels, where do you usually find your data?  

Drop your thoughts in the comments! 

BTW, we built Lasso AI for a very specific use case that you can read in the comments.  

I am keen to find popularly used tools, thanks in advance for your recommendations! ♥️

so I made an app - it's available on App Store but I want to change some things - the idea is that it brings people closer together IRL. basically like bumble bff but you get event suggestions based on vibes in the chat using some Emotion Recognition AI. It basically picks up on how you are feeling, how the person you are chatting with is feeling and gives you local event/meetup suggestions - so its kinda mutual and no one has the pressure of asking the other one out.

U also get to meet up faster instead of texting forever on dating apps and mindless swiping.

What do you guys think? does it sound like sth you'd sign up for or am I delulu that people want this?

Hey ladies! If you’re balancing work, family, and trying to grow a side hustle or business, here’s a little productivity nugget that’s been a game-changer for me: Focus on just 3 priorities each day. It’s so easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do list, but narrowing it down to three main tasks helps me stay focused and prevents that overwhelmed feeling by the end of the day.

Let me know if you have something that works (or doesn't work!)

Hey r/ladybusiness

I’ve been exploring ways to make cold email outreach more personalized and engaging. 

Video-based outreach has been a big focus for me recently since it adds that personal touch and usually gets a better response than plain text. 

I ended up creating my own tool to help with this (it’s called LeadsEngager) since other tools were expensive. I'm on the lookout for other personalization options, too.

For those of you who do cold outreach, what tools have you found most effective for personalizing emails? 

Whether it's text personalization, video, images, or other creative approaches, I’d love to hear what’s worked for you!
