You probably noticed that we have been sharing a bit about our Mini Giants journey here in the past few days.
So I thought I should also introduce myself, as I’m the one behind pretty much everything that happens here, and it’s been a while since the last time I did it.
If you don’t know me yet, my name is Rafaela 😊
I am originally from the countryside of Brazil and I have been living in Australia for the past 8 years.
Today, I can finally and proudly say that I’m a permanent resident, on my way towards Australian citizenship. What a long and challenging process. 😮💨
I started Mini Giants as a painting hiring business, which initially was just a side hustle.
At that time, I was working in a strata company and I remember feeling like I was trading my time for money, and that didn’t feel right for me. 🫠
I wanted to dedicate more time to my family, feel more fulfilled in life, and I had always desired to have my own business. 💭
I made the decision to leave my 9-5 job and fully commit to growing Mini Giants. Treating it as a side hustle would have kept it that way forever.
My first workshops were not that great, I can’t even compare our beginning with what we offer to our clients today.
But it was thanks to this not-so-good beginning that today we are recognized as a reference for kids’ birthday parties, offering the best and most unique experience.
This process of evolution is so painful and so beautiful at the same time. 😵💫🤩🥴🥳🤡🥹 Literally a roller coaster. 😅
Competence, excellence, and authority in what we do are built over time, with a lot of consistency and patience, but it is just so rewarding when we finally reach that point. 🥹⭐️
December last year I went through my toughest time of running Mini Giants and it was during that time that I found my faith in God again after longing for it for so long. That’s why I chose this song for this post, which I can relate so much. ✨
