FACTS
The Work Stuff
I’m the founder of Mia Borja LLC and a Small Business Growth Expert helping solo entrepreneurs bring their marketing and operations together so their businesses are easier to run and better positioned to grow.
That means better websites, smarter marketing, and streamlined systems that help you stay visible, manage the day-to-day, and turn leads into clients.
My path here wasn’t linear.
I started at seventeen answering phones at a law firm, then moved through TV production, software development, and venture capital. Eventually, I found my way into supporting small businesses, first as a technical virtual assistant, then as an online business manager.
As my clients grew, so did my role. A website project became a conversation about positioning. A crowded inbox revealed a missing client workflow. Marketing efforts needed better follow-up, and business owners needed someone who could connect the pieces.
Over time, that became the heart of my work: understanding how a business runs, finding what’s getting in the way, and putting practical solutions in place.
Today, I work directly with solo entrepreneurs who need a hands-on partner to help them move forward.
What I Actually Do
My work centers on three connected areas: Visibility, Systems, and Results.
Visibility
Make it easier for the right people to find you, understand what you offer, and take the next step. That includes your website, messaging, content, email marketing, and the digital assets that support your brand.
Systems
Bring order to the work behind the scenes. From lead management and client onboarding to workflows, CRM setup, and automations, I help create processes that save time and make follow-through more consistent.
Results
Look at what’s working and use that information to guide what comes next. We review engagement, track progress, and adjust our efforts so your time and budget support your business goals.
Together, these pieces help you spend less time managing loose ends and more time serving clients and growing your business.
No subcontractors. No layers. When you work with me, you work directly with me.
The Personal Side
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷
Raised in Pasadena, California 🇺🇸
Spanish heritage 🇪🇸 by way of Mexico 🇲🇽
I’ve also lived in Lima, Peru 🇵🇪, Asunción, Paraguay 🇵🇾, and Bridgetown, Barbados 🇧🇧. Those experiences shaped how I connect with people, adapt to new situations, and see the world.
After twenty years in Orange County, I relocated to Eastside Long Beach in 2020.
I’m a proud mom of two grown sons and two very spoiled Chihuahuas, Vinny and Paulie.
Coffee before conversation. Non-negotiable.
I enjoy a little creative chaos, but I also appreciate a good system that keeps it from taking over.
Outside of work, you’ll find me walking my dogs, sitting in the sun, gardening, listening to music, and keeping an eye out for a great sushi spot.
Why Work With Me
I work with a small number of clients at a time so I can stay close to their businesses, understand their priorities, and follow through on the details.
You get someone who can see the bigger picture and handle the work it takes to get there. Someone who asks questions, spots gaps, offers practical ideas, and helps put them into action.
We build on what’s working, improve what’s getting in your way, and keep an eye on the results.
If your marketing and operations need to catch up with the business you’re building, let’s talk.
