Meet OUR Jane: Michele PW
Posted on April 13, 2010 - Filed Under Jane Dough, Marketing for Janes, Meet a Jane, Success Tips for Jane, Which Jane Are You?
Considered one of the hottest marketing strategists around, Michele PW has a reputation for crafting promotional materials and creating marketing campaigns that get results. She is a national speaker and author, plus her client list reads like the “who who’s” list of Internet marketing.
Michele PW is a natural entrepreneur. “It’s funny but owning a business was never actually a choice for me,” reflects Michele. “I was freelancing and picking up copywriting jobs since college, so it just seemed natural to hang out my shingle for good in 1998. Working in a job never really suited me — I went through a few jobs before I finally figured out it wasn’t the jobs, it was me.”
The biggest reward for owning her business is two-fold. “Being able to help so many entrepreneurs and business owners grow their businesses and get their products and services into the hands of their ideal clients who need them so much. I feel like I’m making such a huge impact — helping entrepreneurs AND their clients get what they all need.”
After taking the free Which Jane Are You? assessment at www.JaneOutoftheBox.com, Michele PW discovered that she is a Jane Dough. “Knowing I’m a Jane Dough has let me fully embrace the part of myself that’s an empire builder,” asserts Michele PW. “I didn’t even realize I wanted to grow an empire until I tested on the assessment as a Jane Dough. I thought about it and realized it was completely the right Jane for me. I’ve been every Jane type except Merry Jane. I’ve always put in way too many hours to be a Merry Jane!”
What is Michele’s most salient piece of advice for other Jane Doughs? “Don’t delegate too quickly,” says Michele. “That’s been my biggest fallout as a Jane Dough. I love the idea of systems and delegating but I have no patience to put them together myself so I tend to drop my team into things they’re not completely ready for.”
Jane Out of the Box is fortunate to call Michele “Our Jane.” She is known as the “$Ka-Ching!$ Marketing Strategist” and provides copywriting, content writing and marketing strategy for Jane. “I’ve been a long time fan of Jane’s — in fact, I was a part of the initial brainstorming session where we named Jane,” says Michele. “I know Jane can make a HUGE difference in the lives and businesses of women entrepreneurs everywhere, and I love being a part of that. I’m able to make a huge difference with my gift, which is exactly why I became a Jane Dough in the first place! I think knowing which Jane you are is absolutely crucial to building the business you want. Look, if you want an empire and you’re an Accidental Jane right now, you’re going to have this level of frustration and this sense that’s something is wrong. That was me. When I was all the other Janes, I was always carrying around this air of dissatisfaction, this “is this all there is?” Now that I’ve embraced my “Jane Dough” I can fully step into my power and build what I know I’m meant to build.”
