 Hi! I’m Maija!

Pronounced like Maya - don’t worry everyone always asks me how to say it. It isn’t just you ;)

I’m an Online Business Manager for Female Entrepreneurs - esp those with big visions and goals but need someone to balance it all out. I love to organize, streamline, and learn #allthetime.

When people ask me what I do, it’s hard because being someone behind the scenes - my job is really to figure things out. Do the research + strategy for each business. (It’s why I can only take on a couple of monthly clients!)

Think of me as your right-hand gal. A Cheerleader and Strategist combined.

I can’t wait to get to know you, but if you are curious about me - read a glimpse of my story below!

 

My Story

I didn’t actually plan on being an entrepreneur. Let’s back up a little bit (get ready for a Mai-story, aka a long-winded story. Hopefully it’ll be interesting enough HAHA)

  1. I went to school for Exercise Physiology and actually got a job at a hospital working just as that (I got to work primarily with cardiac patients and athletes). Then they laid tons of people off. After a year of working miscellaneous jobs - I got another dream job at a wellness center.

  2. Turns out they needed someone to help with social media and marketing - and gave me an opportunity to learn about it all! I dove deep in learning, took classes, bought the online courses, did all the things. I learned so much in those 3 years.

  3. HERE WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING: I was 37 weeks pregnant and my husband got an offer for his dream job. We had to up and move 7+ hours away right then. My job kept me on because they loved my work - and I found out that I was able to do everything I needed remotely.

  4. But I wanted to help more people, and I ENJOYED everything I was doing. So I started a business.

  5. I invested some big bucks into a program, because I knew it would help me not turn back.

  6. Days after paying the big bill, the pandemic hit. Everything was shut down.

  7. That same DAY, I found out I was pregnant with baby #2. (They are 18 months a part)

  8. Talk about a whirlwind. I couldn’t have told you up from down, but I did keep moving.

  9. I became an Online Business Manager (and basically the COO) of a few amazing brands. I let them all know I would be taking a 10 week maternity leave at the end of the year. And I hustled my butt off to be able to do it.

  10. I’m a planner and love to have things organized and done in THE MOST efficient way possible. So that’s what I do know. I’m the organizer. the behind the scenes mover and shaker. the right-hand gal.


    And now here we are. Getting to spend time with my favorite people, living a simple life (can you tell we aren’t fancy over here?), while getting to help people the best way I know how!
    If you want to work with the me and my team, check out our services page. If you just want to hang out and get to know us, you can catch me over on IG most of the time. Caution: long stories, messy hair, and funny reels will be in your future.
