FACTS
The Work Stuff
I’m the founder of Mia Borja LLC, where I step in as a Growth Operator for solo founders and entrepreneurs—fixing what isn’t working behind the scenes and building the foundation their business actually needs.
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. Over time, I found myself inside growing businesses—first as a virtual assistant, then as an online business manager.
But the work I was doing was never just task support.
I was building infrastructure.
Untangling operations.
Fixing what was slowing the business down.
Helping founders stop being the bottleneck.
That clarity led me to step away from the agency model and build something more intentional—working directly with founders, focused on what actually moves the business forward.
What I Actually Do
I build the structure behind your business—then align the front end so everything works together.
→ Positioning — messaging and brand clarity that reflects the level you’re operating at
→ Operations — CRM, workflows, automations, and the systems that run your business
→ Conversion — a website and digital presence designed to guide the right people to action
No subcontractors. No layers.
When you work with me, you work directly with me.
Clients often describe me as the person who makes everything click—turning what feels scattered into a business that runs cleanly, consistently, and without them holding it all together.
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 🇧🇧—experiences that shaped how I see people, business, and the world.
After 20 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 thrive in creative chaos—but I build businesses on structure, clarity, and systems.
Outside of work, you’ll find me walking my dogs, sitting in the sun, gardening, listening to music, and always on the hunt for a great sushi spot.
Fun (and Random) Fact
I have no sense of smell.
For over 30 years now.
Doctors don’t fully know why—likely the result of untreated sinus infections years ago.
It’s strange, slightly inconvenient… and somehow still hasn’t slowed me down.
Why Work With Me
I work with a small number of clients at a time—by design.
This isn’t about volume. It’s about doing meaningful work with people who are serious about building something that actually works.
I’m hands-on, highly responsive, and deeply invested in the outcome.
Because this isn’t surface-level work.
It’s the structure your business depends on.
If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck—and start running a business that works without you in the middle of everything—
