NW Ladies in Business is a support and encouragement group for ladies who own their own business in the the state of Washington. Owning a small business can be very isolating at times, especially if you don’t have any employees or people to share your ideas with. Our group provides a safe, welcoming environment for ladies to build true lasting relationships with each other. Each month you get to connect with other like minded ladies that you can share your struggles, successes and ideas with. We foster these relationships with our upcoming Connection Network, and our Facebook group page.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Connection Network - Coming Soon!

Connection is such an important part of being a woman and a small business owner. This network will help you foster some amazing relationships with other ladies in our group and hopefully get you some new clients or referrals. My journey of connecting with over 90 of our ladies completely changed my life for the better and I want the exact same for you!

The Connection Network is all about connecting you to other like minded small business owners. Over the last few months it has become very apparent to me that as business owners we crave connection. It's so great to have people to talk to about a challenge you are having in your business or just to run some of our crazy business ideas by another fellow business owner.

Every Monday I will be encouraging our ladies to visit the Network and pick someone to connect with. Maybe you need a specific service or product or maybe you notice that one of the ladies loves knitting and you do too. Message the lady and set up a time to chat on the phone, do a zoom meeting or meet for coffee. If you connect with one lady a week, after a year, you will have 52 new connections that you didn’t have before and who knows what will come out of your connections: Collaboration on a project, friendship, business for either one of you, referrals, business ideas etc…. The sky’s the limit. I have gotten so much out of talking to you ladies over the years and I want you to experience the same thing!

This is something you can do on your own time in the comfort of your home or wherever you may be. So many ladies don’t have time to go to meetings so this will be a great way to connect with other women business owners without having to go anywhere.

A little bit about me

I have been a business owner since I was 17 years old. I just retired from my 30+ years of running a house cleaning business, I run the NW Ladies in Business group and me and my boyfriend own Dailey Made where we make greeting cards, painted rocks, magnets and bookmarks . I have two wonderful kids Jared, 19 and Lucy, 17. Got divorced in 2017 and that never would have happened with out the ladies in NW Ladies in Business. They helped me to realize that I deserved to be treated better and to have the life that I had always wanted. After getting divorced I immediately got online to the dating sites and that was a shit show. I do not recommend that to anyone! HA! After swearing off the sites I met my now boyfriend James on a single hikers facebook group and we have been together almost 5 years now and plan on getting married in 2027.

I love owning my own business and always get new ideas on what to start next. I have learned recently that I need to be laser focused on one project at a time for it to succeed. Its been working so far:)

I hope that this group can help all of our businesses thrive and also help us to make some long lasting friendships.

Again I am so excited to meet you and I am very glad you want to join us! Please reach out if you have any questions or ideas about the group.

Cheers!
