Today we’d like to introduce you to Abby Cortes.
Abby, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My name is Abby, and my journey started way earlier than most. I began playing around with online influencing at 18, just experimenting with content and figuring out how things worked. I didn’t have a guide—I learned everything through trial and error. Over the years, I’ve built my own empire. People will literally recognize me in public and say, “Hey, that’s the crypto girl!” It’s kind of surreal.
I first got into Bitcoin and crypto when it was still pretty underground. That interest snowballed into something much bigger. In 2020, I made the decision to take things to the next level—not just for myself, but for my whole family. That’s when we started live streaming, tapping into affiliate marketing, and building a lifestyle brand.
What started out as something silly—a little idea we called Heiress Family—turned into a full-blown movement. And now we’re even opening a restaurant in Longwood, Florida called All American Pub. We’ve got a couple more coming to the Orlando area too. It’s wild to think how far we’ve come.
I also want to mention my dad—he was a car salesman, and honestly, he’s a huge part of the reason I am the way I am. He always told me: “Never work for anyone. Be your own boss.” That mindset stuck with me and shaped everything I’ve built today.
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?
Definitely not smooth the whole way. One of my biggest challenges was the car rental business. I ran it for about three years, and while I put everything into it, I eventually realized that it wasn’t sustainable. Cars are depreciating assets, and even though I worked hard, the numbers weren’t adding up.
That was a tough lesson. But the beauty of being an entrepreneur is that you pivot. I didn’t let that failure stop me. I took the experience, the connections, and the business lessons, and redirected that energy into things that aligned more with my long-term goals. Life coaching, for example, became a huge focus—and it’s been my biggest asset.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Absolutely. What sets me apart is that I’ve built my brand 100% from the ground up. I didn’t come from money, and I didn’t wait for permission—I just started. I learned how to market myself, build community, and monetize online platforms. I brought my family into the vision, and we turned Heiress Family into a real brand.
Now, I run a Discord community, help other people start their own online businesses, and coach them on confidence, mindset, branding, and monetization. I know what it’s like to start from zero, so I know how to guide others. I’ve done affiliate marketing, crypto, consulting, streaming—you name it. And now we’re adding restaurants to the portfolio.
This isn’t just a business for me—it’s a lifestyle. And that energy shows in everything I do.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
Yes. Get around people who believe in you before you believe in yourself. And don’t wait until you “feel ready”—you probably never will. Just start.
Also: Call me! If you’re serious about leveling up, I’m here. Whether you want help managing a brand, launching a business, getting into crypto, or just need someone to help you build confidence—I got you. I’m not gatekeeping the game. I want to see more people win, especially women who are tired of waiting for permission to be successful.
