Heidi Cortez’s Background and Expertise

Heidi grew up in a small town with few opportunities to make it big. Her ambitions led her to notable achievements and a lifelong journey of entrepreneurial pursuits. At just 22, Heidi was the sole owner of a tanning salon in Northern Nevada. She began branding herself and scaling her network, eventually getting picked up by SIRIUS Radio and publishing a book with Simon & Schuster.

After writing her first book, Heidi appeared on Sunset Tan on the E! Network, boosting her tanning business while becoming one of the first “influencers” after she created a successful marketing and branding agency utilizing platforms like MySpace and Instagram.

She then went on to become a public speaker and write multiple books about succeeding in business to help others do the same.

These diverse yet transformative roles helped Heidi understand that she could work with people across the world. Her abilities to adapt to different markets were unmatched and proved helpful in achieving strategic results for business owners and entrepreneurs.

Overcoming Challenges

While Heidi makes becoming an entrepreneur seem effortless, she, too, faced many roadblocks while establishing herself in her early years. Establishing credibility or balancing multiple roles without a mentor when she first started was difficult.

However, Heidi tackled these issues with resilience, strategic planning, social proof, and learning in-depth about different industries. These experiences have built her coaching philosophy. As a one-on-one business coach, each client receives tailored strategies that meet their specific goals and propel them forward in their career.

Heidi’s Approach to Business Coaching

Now more than ever, having authority and true credibility is crucial for building the “back end” of a brand. Heidi provides her clients with ways to grow an authentic and influential online presence. She helps her clients get featured in major publications and provides other “social proof” that helps establish a trustworthy brand identity.

As a PR expert, she informs her clients on how to present themselves and their brands, drawing in their desired clientele. She shows clients how to eliminate the “middleman,” become self-sufficient, and learn the “secret sauce” to scaling. She believes “social proof” is one of the most critical ways to amplify one’s reach.

Heidi’s Philosophy and Vision

As a celebrity mentor, Heidi has had the honor of working with highly esteemed figures, helping them boost their influence in their respective fields. Her strategies create tangible outcomes such as enhanced brand recognition, industry leadership, and influence that foster sustained success.

Her complementary strategy calls with her team, followed by one-on-one coaching programs, are designed to create long-term positive results. She is committed to being a reliable business coach entrepreneurs can turn to if they need help.

Heidi Cortez’s own success serves as inspiration for clients so that they, too, can achieve their professional dreams.
