My mom rented out a room earlier this year to start a spa and has so far not had a single paying customer months later, costing her $240 a week in rent. But instead of actually trying to grow her business, she's done a bunch of stupid crap instead.
>Set up an expensive website with GoDaddy where 90% of the content is AI generated, from the imagery to the fake reviews. No pictures of her or the spa on it.
>Has yet to set up an Instagram account to advertise because she "doesn't know how," and whenever I try to do it for her she says "we'll do it later"
>Wastes hundreds of dollars on fancy business cards instead of something basic and fucking notepads with her company logo (AI generated) on it
>Refuses to go out and make friends that she could advertise her business to. I always tell her to go to the huge ass Catholic church in the wealthy part of town for mass or to join a women's group but she comes up with some bullshit about she "doesn't understand the mass times"
>When she comes home or has time off, instead of figuring out how to grow her business, she just pisses away the hours by obsessively cleaning the house, cooking elaborate time-wasting meals, watching Housewives on her tablet, or going out grocery shopping for lentils or some bullshit we don't even need
What really drove me nuts was that I set her up on a little coffee meet-up with a friend who does real estate and was offering to advertise her business to clients absolutely free of charge. What does she do? She just doesn't show up. Doesn't text the guy or anything. Called her this morning to ask how it went and she told me she just didn't go because she was "busy" despite setting the date up a fucking week in advance.
I'm at my goddamn wits' end with this woman. She treats her spa like a fucking Barbie dream house instead of an actual damn business and then BLAMES ME of all fucking people. Never listens to my damn advice even though I have a degree in economics.

I know your sisters and mom not sleeping on that soft mattress with the soft top. I put a spell on that bed. Anyone who lays on it outside of bloodline shall be cracked.

This isn’t a business board chud tell your mom to launch a shitcoin named after the spa business and pump the ticker to losers on here
Make the name of the coin or the logo some joke about happy ending massages
Airdrop me some of the coin as payment for this advice

>>62575739
you need to just let it run its course
>>
>>62575739
you cant make people care or succeed. let it die, dont drag it out.
>>
>>62575739
she's not going through this to have a successful business, it's to "run a spa" and then find out "i guess this place just ain't interested in spas". i'm telling you right now just trying to control it and let it run its course
>>
>>62575739
Sounds like avoidance due to social anxiety. You won't change her as a person so the thing will ultimately fail. Just don't let her go in debt over it.
>>
>>62575739
She needs to hire asian illegal immigrants and hold their passports hostage so that they agree to give clients blowjobs.
>>
>>62575739
>wasting $1k/mo
you need to accept reality: your mom is ignorant and delusional, and that won't change.
you already tried to convince her to do something else and she didn't do shit.
maybe do all that shit (instagram, shilling) yourself. but she's wasting money on useless shit that probably won't make her a single dollar, so just tell her to stop being delusional, and stop being delusional yourself.
t.learned the hard way that moms are narcissistic and retarded. in fact, I'm still hopelessly trying to make her understand things, to no avail.
>>
>>62575739
Your mom doesn't actually want to run a business. She just wants to pretend she does so she can fake the lifestyle to her friends and extended family that don't know the truth.
>>
>>62575777
Trips of truth. Sign me up. I’d pay a monthly membership.
>>
Most businesses fail due to poor management. Your mom is the rule not the exception.
>>
Start making plans to help her and you avoid debt and bankruptcy. Do not allow her to take out any loans.

Women are retarded. Just because she is your mother doesn’t mean she is not a woman. Distance yourself from the bullshit. It is not your business; stop being emotionally involved.

>>62575739
cant fix stupid

Hoe phase never dies. Just find one who isnt a hoe. Oh they exist keep looking buddy. Thats the secret. She will find you she doesnt party thats how you know. She is the one.
>>
Your mom is just another dumb bitch that read up on a random idea + AI or she's a hooker OP
>>
Maybe she just likes the idea of telling people she runs a spa

95% of women-run startups end in failure, it’s some insane percentage. Now you know why OP, and why it’s been this way throughout ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY in EVERY SINGLE CULTURE.

That meme hahaha

Set up an instagram account for her you fucking retard. You are her son; you are supposed to help her.

1. Could be a tax shelter
2. Could be a money laundering front
3. Could be an expensive hobby

Anyway unless mom has dementia this is literally none of your fucking business and you should pay attention to your own affairs. Assuming you live with her you're not qualified to give her financial advice since she's paying for your existence
>>
>>62575739
Typical woman larping. She doesn't want to run a business, she wants to feel good about it and only do the fun things.
>>
if you're that concerned about your mom's spa business, then why don't you go out and find some good places where the majority of people assemble and start handing out pamphlets or something
>>
>>62575739
Let her fail.
I mean it, let her fail.
If you enable her, it's just gonna make things worse down the line.
IF she blames you just tell her if she was meant to be a business owner she wouldn't need your help or support in the first place.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
>>
>>62575739
some people just want to try/do their own thing. thats more important for them than succeeding. its retarded but I can relate. they will have regrets for their rest of their life if they dont do/fail own their own accord. let her fail and get it out of her system.
>>
>>62576842
Define a female mother
>>
You could launder money through her business
>>
This is exactly how all the women I know ran their business. Watch "success" seminars or books, with grand ideas but miss the key point of having real customers.

Its such an odd mental limitation, yet they all seem to have it.
>>
she is money laundering for someone. doesn't need your help.
>>
>>62575739
>he doesnt know
Do you know that a lot of female owned non-public businesses are (no proof this is pure belief) unprofitable and completely bankrolled by their rich husbands? That small "boutique" book store? Yeah $2k in revenue. Rent? $8k. It's nothing more than her way of making herself her own goycare job because of some incessant need to be a contributing member of society.

If I was rich I would not waste my time opening a business that will obviously fail.

Also, your mom seems....different. She some sort of homebody introvert? Why even make a business if she's that?
>>
>>62577282
>t. has an axe wound
Lol. If it was my mom I'd be trying to stop her wasting money on a fruitless endeavour. Get over yourself roastie, you're not as great as you think you are.
>>
>>62578624
No if my kids couldn't afford to support themselves I'd never take their money advice.

You want to decide how money should be spent you have to earn it. You don't deserve an inheritance if you're too lazy or stupid to support yourself

My mom did something very similar back in the mid 2000s. She opened up a "holistic" spa/clinic where she offered reiki, massage, light therapy and all kinds of other bullshit save for massage as well as oils and lotions
She opened the business with her hoarder friend who also doesn't bathe enough, a hooker friend, and a sex phone worked friend. Also her niece
I wish I was fucking joking
She also bought insane shit for it, she bought a fucking sewing machine when we didn't need it or have any use for it.
Needless to say she ended up losing it after thousands of dollars that she borrowed from her mother causing her mother to lose her house after her death and she sister/niece/nephew to move and feud for years.

The hubris of the europoors who are strictly under a noble/serf system is humorous indeed

>>62578955
Lol, lmao even. We all know you will donate it to some chairty that will take 70% for "administrative costs" rather than your own children. Who cares, you're literally the peak boomer entitlement at any cost mentality. And judging from your posts you are not even wealthy kek

climate change is a settled scientific issue and every ear proves it correct
just wait for the biggest El Nino in history

>>62579080
If you were wealthy me telling you to earn your own money and forget about inheriting wouldn't bother you.

The reason you guys can't stand boomers wasting their own money is because you are poor and too stupid to get your own money and you know it

I was not speaking to you do not speak to me you swine
