Heidi and I met many years ago via the internet. When my first book came out, “Jack of All Trades, Master of None”, she wrote a rave review about it and many of her members purchased it. I sent her an email thanking her and we became online friends. Fast forward two years and I moved to Florida and come to find out she lives near me and is THE GO TO WOMAN for connections. She’s definitely a professional I admire and as a successful business women with several businesses, I think you all should too. Find out why Heidi loves what she does!
Own Your Power,
Simone
Heidi is the founder of both Redhead Marketing, Inc (www.RedhadMarketingInc.com) and EdenFlorist.com (www.EdenFlorist.com).
With Redhead Marketing, my goal is to Empower People Through Technology. I teach a full day blogging course, a six-part Internet Marketing Course and also have a variety of info products to support these two programs. In addition, I work with people who prefer to pay someone ELSE to do the work and design websites, and manage social media for clients in retail, construction, the arts and marine industries.
EdenFlorist.com is a 30+ year old company which was started in Pembroke Pines, Florida. After 31/2 years we had to move from our 650 square foot store to a 3,000 square foot location in Miamar. We moved to Davie 3 years ago and still serve all of Broward County and much of Dade and Palm Beach. We specialize in corporate events and weddings, as well as special occasion flowers and everyday gifts.
How long in business?: 5 years with Redhead Marketing (but I was teaching long before I formally established my company) AND 30+ years with Eden Florist.com.
What inspired you to start it? I was disilusioned with the way web designers worked with me and with many of my friends and wanted to learn simple things so I would not have to wait around for someone else to make a minor change to my site. With the help of my daughters (they taught me early on how to navigate software and learn basic html). They also taught me how to effectively add content to my own sites using Dreamweaver. Later on I learned Joomla by doing and now am an expert in WordPress design and maintenance.
As for the florist, it was fate. I was a work at home mom taking care of two small children and managing 62 rental units my starter husband and I had, and really did not like being a landlord. I started working part-time in the shop I now own (purchased after only working there 2 weeks). It was life-changing. Learning how to run a business that was not doing well and taking it from 300 customers to over 7,000 today has been fulfilling and at times very challenging. I would not change those experiences for ANYTHING.
Most popular problem you help people solve?
When it comes to social media, people have a difficult time managing all the ways they can promote their businesses. I help them come up with a managable, doable plan so they are not spending hours spinning their wheels
As for the florist, I know one of the things that flowers do is help console people. There have been numerous studies done about the emotional appeal of flowers. And people who understand how they heal, get people excited, make someone happy are our best customers. Flowers are also a great thank-you gift to give. They are living art and most people have a love or at least an appreciation for beautiful works of art. To paraphrase a famous quote: Flowers (art) imitates life. I believe that Flowers illustrate life.
How did you first hear about our network and why did you join? About 5 years ago I heard Simone speaking at an event and thought, this is fascinating. I should really be involved. After all, not only do I need things, I have things other people need. It was only natural to be part of such a creative business program. As a result I have met and done business with many interesting and exceptional people.
Favorite Mentor and why? There are so many mentors that have come into my life, the first being my mother and second my grandmother. My mother taught me to never give up no matter how bad things got – especially on myself. My grandmother made me feel I could do anything I set out to do. Both were incredible influences in who I am today.
Book You’d Recommend and why? I read at least 2 books a month (sometimes more) and one of my favorite is The Emyth Revisted by Michael Gerber. It is a great book for people who need a little push in business as well as for those who need a refresher. The second book I’d recommend is The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann. It is a parable about life and success and it is definitely worth reading. I read it an bought several copies to give to friends and colleagues.
What’s a bold move you took that turned your business around? Sometimes just going to work when things are bad is a bold move. One of the bold moves I took was to move my florist from a retail location to a warehouse. It was by far, the best move during a struggling economy. People don’t need flowers (not the same way that they do a roof over their head or food on the table). When times are tough we give up those things that make us feel good just to survive. I am glad things are turning around. I have noticed in the past few months that more people are buying flowers “just because.” It used to be a big part of our business which kept us busy when there were no holidays or ocassions.
What’s a networking tip you use to help you gain and/or maintain your relationships? The most important part of networking is IMHO follow up. It’s easy to collect business cards or “friends” on social media. It’s not as easy to stay in contact. I have automated the process through my SendOutCards (www.SendoutCards.com/Heidi) account. As a distributor, I have the opportunity to send cards at a discount, add people as often as I want, creating a powerful database AND I can share the opportunity with others. It has been a nice little income producer and more importantly helped me to stay in contact with people with just a few clicks of the mouse. Real cards delivered to people’s mailbox and I never have to lick a stamp!
Healthy meal that you enjoy? Thanksgiving Salad. I make it with Romaine lettuce, Spring Mix (if it looks good) orArugula and Spinach. I add craisins, pecans, honey roasted turkey, black olives, chick peas and my favorite dressing – balsamic vinegarette. Sometimes tomatoes and feta cheese too. I eat this 4-5 days a week for lunch.
If you could do it all over again, what is the biggest mistake you’d avoid next time around? Absolutely nothing! If I had not married my starter husband I would not have had the 3 beautiful daughters God blessed us with. If I had not gone into business for myself, I would not have met the thousands of amazing people who have graced me with their friendships and expertise. Oh sure, I’ve made some BIG mistakes, all of them have been learning experiences that have made me a better wife, mother and business woman. Thank God for imperfection! It is the mistakes and challenges that I think make us all better human beings.
Most exciting moment that you got your time to shine? There have been so many amazing moments it’s difficult to say. I have been on TV, won dozens of awards, even Produce my own magazine. I guess I’d have to say that my first exciting moment was when Vicki Coceano (Mayor of Miramar at the time) presented me with a proclamation naming June 26th as Heidi Richards Day. I was being installed as president of the Miramar-Pembroke Chamber of Commerce and she presented it while she was swearing me into office. It was and still is one of the most emotional times of my life.
What do you do for ME TIME? Ride my bike, take long walks, read and of course, spa days are always on the calendar!
Who in your circle do you want to thank for helping you build your business? Members of all the groups I belong to including local chambers of commerce, Women in Ecommerce, the American Busiess Women’s Association, Florida Speakers Association and the Florida Direct Marketing Association each were integral in my professional development, along with support and as referral sources. And of course, Simone Kelly Brown for always lifting others up, putting us in the spotlight and helping us to shine. Thank you so much for being you!

Freedom to Be Me main service:
Freedom To Be Me offers an online community for African American and women of color that are lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual. Freedom To Be Me encourages women to Embrace with who they are mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. They are able to Connect with other like-minded women for support, obtain advice from our experts and find the Inspiration to live their best life.
What inspired you to start it?
I was inspired to launch Freedom To Be Me as an African American woman that embraces her love and attraction for women, I didn’t have a safe place to discuss challenges about my emotions, coming out, and feeling confident with my choice to embrace who I was. Creating this community for women to provide them with the opportunity to meet yearly for fun travel and retreats were placed on my heart
Any interesting facts that you can share about your industry?
Many women of color find it challenging to be true to who they are because of religion or family members not being accepting and open that it affects them mentally and emotionally. They are looking for others that have faced challenges and have found a healthy state of being. They are seeking for upscale events with other like-minded professional women to network with. Freedom To Be Me, offers just that and more.
Most popular problem you help people solve?
Freedom To Be Me helps women work through the emotionally rollercoasters related to embracing who they are. We connect them with women through an online community that is safe and discrete to seek advice, support and empowerment. Inspire them to achieve personal goals related to professional growth and dreams of being an entrepreneur.
How did you first hear about our network and why did you join?
Simone was my coach and I learned about the network as an added client bonus!
Favorite Mentor and why?
Margaret Spence she is a successful small business owner that demonstrates resilience. Her ability as an author, speaker and consultant has given me an “I Can” attitude.
Book You’d Recommend and why?
Who Moved My Cheese-
We can’t become complacent and assume that things will always remain the same. We have to keep our eyes and ears open to change. We need to always have a backup plan for the future.
How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated by surrounding myself with positive individuals, I read affirmations, and make time for myself. I greatest motivation is driven by the kind words that I receive by the impact that I have placed on someone’s life because of their interaction with me on or offline at FreedomToBeMe.com
What’s a bold move you took that turned your business around?
Showing my human side (emotions and fears), honest, and open with my readers. They enjoy being able to relate with my experiences. They enjoy that I provide a personal touch.
What’s a networking tip you use to help you gain and/or maintain your relationships?
Engage people and try to learn as much as you can about them. Ask how can I help you?
