The Reluctant Entrepreneur - Reluctance w/ Michele Rempel Cross Street Coaching

    • Self-Improvement

How can we remain open to learning while navigating market disruptions?

Michele Rempel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelerempel/) of Westvyne allows Diana and I to come on site to her studio and talk to her about her reluctant entrepreneur journey that stated in education and landed in digital marketing. A few life changes and a customer request really jumpstarted her journey into the career field that she is still in today, but her roots and passion from that educational background is a part of what has made her approach unique to her customers.

She also explores while her family background is not in starting businesses, but she found that once she started one, she was able to start other businesses, such as a creative art side project. What it was like navigating both the recent pandemic and the economic downturn from 2007 – 2009 and what she’s learned after remaining in business after both events.

In this episode we referenced:

- The enneagramis a strength-based personality assessment.

- Pinterest, TikTok, Instagram Reels are all social media image and video sharing platforms that allow businesses to market direct to consumers.

- Diana referenced that Drew was better at the definitions, she is referring to Drew Long of Hawthorne Union.

- Women’s Business Center and SCORE are support programs within the SBA.

- “We tend to buy from people we know like and trust,” is a common sales phraseology that David Malizia shared with us on a previous episode.

- Westvyne’s website is at https://westvyne.com/
