What if something as simple as a balloon could change your life? This week I sit down with Mia Hamza from Balloon Thrill, a former teacher from Kosovo who turned her creative spark into a thriving six-figure event décor and education business—all in just a few years after moving to the U.S.Mia shares how she went from teaching English and hosting a TV show overseas to starting from zero in a new country—no money, no car, and no clear direction—and building a business that now empowers others around the world.In this episode:How to start a business with little to no capital (and why small ideas can grow into big ones)Why mindset is the real difference between “just balloons” and a six-figure brandThe value of mentorship and online learning when scaling a creative businessHow Mia transitioned from in-person décor to online education with hundreds of global studentsWhy balloon décor is one of the most flexible, family-friendly, and profitable creative businesses todayAction Steps:Take the first step — If you’ve been thinking about something for too long, do it within 24 hours.Go all in — Once you commit, give it your full energy instead of starting small out of fear.Learn from others — Find mentors or peers already succeeding in your field and model what works.Connect with Mia:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balloonthrill/Online Balloon Masterclass: https://www.thrillmakersmasterclass.com/start-1?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacMwuZyk64vY0BxWsZAZnmBxJgpj3W9Y4KybTHbyqYME6DkGgda_tzEjCAkyA_aem_zXQeTrJ2Ogr6vIQBTCHXyQConnect with me, Hayleigh Hayhurst:Steal my Podcast Launch Checklist for free: ⁠https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/⁠checklist⁠Website: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EspressoPodcastProductionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/espressopodcastproduction/Music: John Kiernan. www.johnkiernanmusic.comProduced by Espresso Podcast Production:  https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/Join the Conversation: What did you think of this episode?
