Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Trudean Haye. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Trudean thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
As I ventured into my own entrepreneurial journey, I encountered many individuals with brilliant ideas and boundless passion, but often lacking the foundational knowledge and resources to turn those dreams into sustainable businesses. This realization struck a chord within me.
I’ve met many young, aspiring entrepreneur who were brimming with creativity and ambition, but were overwhelmed by the complexities of branding and business development. Seeing their struggle mirrored the challenges I’ve seen time and time before with many small business owners and the reasons behind why their business failed, it ignited a fire within me to make a difference.
That’s when I knew that my mission was not only about business; it was about empowerment, about giving entrepreneurs the tools and guidance they needed to build something meaningful and lasting. It was about paying forward the lessons and opportunities that came naturally to me.
Trudean, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m Trudean Haye, the founder and driving force behind Trudean Haye Company, a creative brand agency. My journey into the world of entrepreneurship and business development was shaped by a blend of personal experiences and a passion for empowering others. I became an entrepreneur before I even knew what an entrepreneur was, at the age of 15.
I think my journey into entrepreneurship started in my home country, Jamaica, having witnessed the determination of those around me. I developed a profound respect for entrepreneurship and its potential to transform lives. This foundation laid the groundwork for my own venture.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Being an entrepreneur demands a level of tenacity that can only be earned through trial and tribulation. When your livelihood hinges on the success of your venture, weathering a slow season becomes a test of endurance.
I vividly recall a challenging period, where a client entered my orbit during a particularly sluggish phase. Their demands were ceaseless, their expectations unyielding, and their demeanor, frankly, unbearable. Yet, in the midst of this trying dynamic, I clung to the project, driven by the necessity of income. It was a precarious balancing act, a compromise between financial stability and my own wellbeing.
As the days wore on, a dissonance began to echo through my once-passionate pursuit. The very thing that had ignited my entrepreneurial spirit now felt like a burdensome weight. It was a pivotal moment, a stark realization that the toll on my passion and mental health was far too high a price to pay.
And so, with a heavy heart, I made the decision to terminate our contract. It was a choice born of necessity, a recognition that no amount of money could justify the toll it was taking on my wellbeing.
This experience was a crucible that forged a profound transformation. It compelled me to reassess and revamp my service structure and availability. It was a process fraught with uncertainty, but one that ultimately led to a more sustainable and fulfilling approach.
This story serves as a testament to the resilience required in the entrepreneurial journey. It underscores that while the path may be strewn with challenges, the ability to adapt and make difficult decisions is an indispensable trait. It’s a reminder that, at times, the road to success necessitates detours and recalibrations. And through it all, it’s the unwavering commitment to one’s passion and purpose that guides the way.
