Conversations with Heather Hakes

Today we’d like to introduce you to Heather Hakes.

Heather, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I took a leap of faith back in 2017 after climbing the corporate ladder for a decade. I was unfulfilled, seeking happiness and purpose in life and knew there had to be a better way. Without a plan, I gave my two weeks’ notice and the next day found out I would be awarded $175,000 from the company’s recent IPO. That led me on a 2.5 year world travel journey, getting into coaching, podcasting and publishing my first book.

Turns out, my dream as a little girl to be a teacher is exactly what I get to do every day through Mindset Coaching and podcasting. My message to you – your only purpose is joy. Whatever lights you up, do more of that and you don’t have to follow society’s conditioning of a 9-5 if it’s not fulfilling.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Absolutely not! I call entrepreneurship personal development on steroids. Going from employee to entrepreneur was a complete identity shift and working for 100% commissions isn’t for the faint of heart. I stepped into my hero’s journey and have had to overcome self-doubt, imposter syndrome and procrastination. Hindsight is always 20/20. Through my own journey of overcoming obstacles, building resilience and being persistent is exactly how I’ve been able to help others overcome their challenges, limiting beliefs, negative mindsets and living life in autopilot.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a Mindset Coach and have been into personal development for more than 20 years. I practice what I preach and therefore lead by example. I’ve been able to take complex topics like neuroscience, quantum physics and ancient wisdom and distill it down into practical, tangible frameworks to help others get out of their own way. Ultimately I teach that all limits are self imposed and no matter your current situation, you can completely change the trajectory of your life.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
