Women of Influence – Bellann Hyten

Bellann Hyten, Principal & Financial Advisor, Maverick Financial

Strength Drawn from Legacy Empowers Financial Advisor

Bellann Hyten, Principal and Financial Advisor at Maverick Financial in Corinth has built her career on the principles of empowerment and self-reliance. Her journey began as a Chief Financial Officer in accounting firms, where she found fulfillment in helping employees succeed, ultimately contributing to the company’s success. 

This passion for fostering growth translated seamlessly to financial planning, where she now helps individual clients achieve their financial goals. Inspired by the idea of combining her entrepreneurial spirit with her desire to help others, Bellann ventured into business for herself, establishing Maverick Financial.

The influence of strong, entrepreneurial women runs deep in Bellann’s life. Raised by her grandmother, a resourceful and determined woman who sold tamales and Mexican wedding cookies to support her family, Bellann learned the value of hard work and perseverance. Her other grandmother, equally entrepreneurial, ran various businesses, from a snow cone stand to a second-hand store, during a time when opportunities for Hispanic women were limited. These remarkable women, born in 1897 and 1911, taught Bellann the importance of independence and self-reliance, involving her in their ventures and instilling in her the belief that she could achieve anything.

For young women aspiring to leadership, Bellann offers sage advice: true leadership is not about giving orders but ensuring that people are better off with your guidance. She emphasizes the importance of listening and observing, recognizing that actions often speak louder than words. Understanding the needs and behaviors of others is crucial to their success.

Balancing a demanding career with personal well-being, Bellann underscores the importance of setting goals for both professional and personal life. She believes that personal goals are as significant as professional ones, and maintaining a balance is key to overall happiness and success. This emphasis on goal-setting can motivate the audience to focus on their own aspirations. Alongside her husband, who shares similar interests, Bellann makes time for fun and relaxation, surrounding herself with friends and family who bring joy and support.

Bellann’s success is also attributed to her ‘posse’ — a network of professionals who understand and support her ambitions, and personal relationships that provide moral support and honest feedback. This supportive community is a testament to the fact that success is not achieved in isolation. It allows her to navigate the challenges of her career and personal life with confidence and resilience, reassuring the audience that they too can overcome obstacles with the right support system.

Bellann Hyten’s story is one of empowerment, resilience, and the strength drawn from a legacy of entrepreneurial women. At Maverick Financial, she continues to inspire and lead, helping others achieve their dreams and building a community of success.
