Science transforms chaos into order. Tess Tims discovered this fact in her life-long battle with chaos. Only science allowed her to transform her personal chaos into order and success.

Counterintuitively, but purely logically, she went to Beauty School. She recognized this as a very profitable growth industry years before the smart money managers did. In a very short time Tess owned her own high-end salon, which lacked only one thing – clients. She had none. Things got so dire that at one point she could not pay a $42 water bill for her salon.

Her old adversary Chaos was back again.

Rather than panic, Tess used her hard science background and her years at Nasa to think logically. and came up with a fool-proof formula to make her salon a success. It promised to add 100 new clients per week in 30 days -and it delivered. Her salon blossomed and today, 30 years later, is still one of the top performing beauty salons in the country.

On the advice of a friend, Tess decided she should work smart rather than just work hard and developed the celebrated 3C’s program. Following the 3C’s has allowed Tess to banish Chaos from her door forever more. Today she is an independent, powerful woman; a successful entrepreneur with three separate businesses, an in-demand Life Transformation Coach and one of the most sought after Transformational Speakers in America today

What has made Tess Tims so popular? As Tess herself explains “I was once an unmarried welfare mom with no prospects and no hope. Today I am a very successful entrepreneur. So I can fully understand people who have big dreams, and people can relate to that.”

The Tess Zone is a space where fellow entrepreneurs, speakers, coaches, authors and the like come to share their stories of overcoming adversity, pioneering through the impossible, and scaling their lives.
