‘Changing Up‘ Your Purpose

Mia Maze is not content to have only one business! She likes 'changing up' regional community connections to support and benefit women entrepreneurs and business owners in the Bega Valley and regional NSW. A city bred entrepreneur Mia made it her mission to assist her community to recover from the 2020 bushfires and the ongoing challenges of Covid that are impacting us all. Listen in as Mia shares her 'greatest challenge and achievement' when given a few days' notice that her fixed term contract was coming to an end and that it would not be renewed due to funding decisions. Covid followed the bushfires of 2020 and my region was heavily affected. Exhausted from being the voice of help for businesses in her region and political pressure from stakeholders she pivoted her focus on others and launched 2 websites, repositioned herself, re-skilled and completed ICF accredited business coach training. We talk about the value of being visible, standing up for your values and developing strong community ties, volunteering and joining community and industry boards. Providing a 'sandpit' for women to learn and co-work together turned Mia's priorities to purpose, not profit.   Contact Mia: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/miamaze/   If you enjoyed this episode of Thriving Matters Podcast we would love a review and share.
