Meet Heather Powers

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Heather Powers. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Heather below.

Hi Heather , great to have you with us today and excited to have you share your wisdom with our readers. Over the years, after speaking with countless do-ers, makers, builders, entrepreneurs, artists and more we’ve noticed that the ability to take risks is central to almost all stories of triumph and so we’re really interested in hearing about your journey with risk and how you developed your risk-taking ability.
As a business owner you will always have to take risk. As for myself when I started “Itz The Hair”,it wasn’t an easy task. For instance, I had to try out numerous of vendors in order to find the quality of hair I wanted for my brand. Which could be very costly. Every time you invest money, you’re taking a risk. In order to get your business in order you have to try new ways of managing it the way you would like . At the end your customers will be pleased. It’s not about the risk. It’s more about the quality and to test your limits, and to see what you are capable of.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
When it comes to running a hair business, there are several important qualities, skills, and areas of knowledge that can greatly impact your journey. Here are three that are particularly important:

1)Well-disciplined, Being disciplined helps you prioritize tasks, set realistic goals, and allocate time efficiently. This ensures that you can meet deadlines, provide quality services to clients, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

3)Mentally motivated, Being mental motivation helps cultivate self-discipline, allowing you to set goals, stay focused, and maintain consistent effort in your hair business. It also drives you to pursue continuous personal growth, seeking new knowledge, skills, and techniques to enhance your expertise.

My advice to future entrepreneurs are to ,never stop learning and expanding your knowledge in the hair industry. Understand that setbacks and failures are a natural part of any journey. Embrace the journey, stay focused on your goals, and never stop nurturing your passion for the hair industry.

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
