Nice to virtually meet you! Here's what you need to know about me.

Meet Heidi Simos, an award-winning Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source (TES). Heidi is a skilled coach who empowers individuals to challenge the status quo by taking control of their careers!

After spending several years working in corporate America and personally experiencing the Battered Career Syndrome ®, Heidi took charge of her future and purchased her first national learning center franchise.  Within a

7-year period, she acquired 7 more centers and was recognized as one of the most successful multi-unit franchise operators in the system. This experience inspired Heidi to become a TES coach, so she can share her knowledge and expertise with individuals who are ready to move from employment to empowerment.

During her meetings, Heidi creates a safe learning environment and uses proven tools to clarify what her clients are trying to achieve. She encourages clients to keep an open mind, as they learn about entrepreneurial options that help reach their Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity goals. Heidi persuades her clients to leave their comfort zones and eliminate any barriers or fears that may be standing in the way of reaching their true potential. This extraordinary coaching experience is provided at no cost, risk or obligation.

When it comes to community involvement, Heidi enjoys giving back.  She partners with the University of North Florida Military & Veterans Resource Center and delivers workshops to Veterans transitioning out of the military. She has also teamed up with SCORE, a national non-profit organization, to offer franchise webinars on a regular basis throughout the year.

On a personal note, Heidi enjoys spending time with her friends, family and her dog, Koukla.  She loves walks on the beach, theater, sporting events and going to concerts.

My wife and I were exploring different business ideas in preparation for our retirement plans and started leaning towards the franchise option. A mutual friend of ours was working with Heidi and strongly referred her to us the the best advice, “be open minded”. From our first meeting with Heidi we know she was the right coach for us. She worked with our hectic schedules and was always patient, pleasant, and knowledgeable. We ended up buying a franchise and she was with us every step of the way. She made it clear that she was here for us and not the franchise with the advice she gave. Since our purchase she has continued to keep in touch keeping us motivated and energized. Heidi is truly a one of a kind coach to help you get the best fit for your goals.
