How do you build a business when you canāt put your face or name online?
That was the reality for Mimi Glenn, who, having escaped domestic abuse, was found every time she was resettled and tried to go for a new job or reestablish her business.
Mimi realised that she needed a business that wouldn’t be disrupted if she was forced to move and rebuild her life again. And thanks to the skills and support she gained through her training at TechPixies (and a whole heap of resilience on her part), Mimi now runs a thriving digital marketing consultancy.
But when you canāt put your face or even your real name out into the world for fear of being found again, how do you engage with clients and build a reputable brand?
Hereās why you need to tune in
Mimi joins Joy for a brave discussion about the steps she took to protect her safety while running her business, how the TechPixies community has provided her with a safe, supportive space to reaffirm her skills, and how sheās structured her business. Plus, hear about the incredible charity Mimi is creating for those who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse and need help to set up their businesses safely online.
