Client Testimonials
I don’t know what I would do without WESST’s assistance. I would be completely lost. I am so grateful for all the information and for knowing I am not alone. I am so grateful I can obtain assistance in Spanish, as I am more comfortable with my native language than English. I am inspired to keep learning and grow my business with WESST.

Ruby Love Fine Art
I am so grateful to have WESST in my life. Being an entrepreneur can feel lonely and knowing I can call WESST and get assistance is comforting. I am physically tired now, more than before, but I feel better mentally. I love waking up and knowing I have my business, that people are loving my food, working with my husband, and having people who can help me, that I am not alone in this journey.
Carmen Bolivar, Albuquerque, NM
Flauteria Los Borrachos,LLC
Without the help of WESST, I would still lack the confidence around running my business and what is required. Consulting has helped give me a clear and accurate direction, demystified things I was afraid of doing, and confirmed that what I’m doing has value and purpose. Each meeting was packed with thoughtful questions from my mentor, which allowed me to reflect upon my path more effectively and get clear on exactly where I’m going. I’m so immensely grateful!
