Today we’d like to introduce you to Hillary Cortez.
Hi Hillary, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I come from a small town in the RGV and have always had big dreams and goals. My true passion lies in inspiring and helping others. After college, I worked in Corporate America, but I always felt there was something more out there for me. I wasn’t sure what it was then, but I knew I was meant to make an impact. During this time, I became interested in entrepreneurship and took a leap of faith by launching my first online business in 2018. Although I had no clue what I was doing, I fell in love with the process and its freedom. As a result, I started mentoring hundreds of women who were also starting their businesses, which brought me immense fulfillment. This inspired me to officially launch my coaching business in 2021, where I will continue to support female entrepreneurs in building, growing, and scaling their online businesses. Over time, I expanded my brand and impact by launching “The Motivation Babe Podcast,” a top-rated self-improvement podcast in over 150 countries with almost 100,000 downloads. I’m incredibly proud of my podcast; it lets me have honest conversations about mindset, entrepreneurship, growth, confidence, and everything. Today, I’m honored to partner with local and national organizations, communities, and conferences to speak on stage as a Motivational Speaker. My mission is to empower women to pursue their dreams and live on their terms. It’s crazy to believe where I am now, but I’m dedicated to helping women discover their purpose and live their lives to the fullest.
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, has it been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Despite the incredible rewards of my entrepreneurial journey, it hasn’t been without its challenges. Throughout the ups and downs, the most significant obstacle I’ve faced is the mindset aspect of entrepreneurship. I’ve had moments when I felt like giving up, moments of utter confusion, and moments where I questioned my ability to succeed. That little voice in our head that tells us we can’t do it- was trying to pull me down. However, I kept going and pushed through, determined to come out on the other side. Here I am today. I always say if I can do it, so can you. Don’t let that little voice win or let your limiting beliefs hold you back. Take action and achieve what you set out to do!
