“Success is doing what you love and loving what you do.”
Katia Millar
CEO and Founder of Positive Fabulous Women
The saying, “winners never quit and quitters never win,” doesn’t apply to
Katia Millar. The CEO once felt “stuck” in an administrative position that
was flexible, yet not suited to her gifts. A frustrated Millar would spend
coffee breaks crying in her car. “In retrospect, I’m grateful,” she says of her
resignation. “It helped transform my life in positive ways.” Millar is helping
others do the same in developing a network of inspired business owners
that seek authentic connections.
Social Media Maven
With over 8,000 members, fans and followers internationally, Positive
Fabulous Women comes to life at networking events and workshops in
Toronto. Millar “isn’t on soci al media 24/7,” yet believes that various platforms, from LinkedIn to Twitter, give us an “unprecedented opportunity”
to connect with wide audiences.
Real beauty in her own right
Two years ago, Millar was cast in an online hair care commercial for the
Dove Campaign For Real Beauty with 13 women from across Canada. “It
was a “Dancing in the Rain” theme, so we got to work with a Hollywood
choreographer,” she says of participating in the production. “A truly
unforgettable day.”
Learning from other women
“The women in my circles tend to be passionate, heart-centered and
purpose-driven – yet like most women, we’re trying to do everything by
ourselves,” Millar says. When life becomes imbalanced for the entrepreneur, she steps back, takes a few deep breaths and recalibrates with her two
greatest passions: hot yoga and people. “I’ll either be doing a downward
dog or spending time with my family or friends.”
Advice
Millar has learned that she can trust her intuition to shape her life’s path.
“Listen to your heart and body – and do what works for you – regardless
of whether it fits society’s rules and expectations. You know yourself best.”
