We had the good fortune of connecting with Deanna Wells and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Deanna, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I started my business to prove to myself and others that I could do it. I worked for people who didn’t believe I could run my own business. I also had family members who doubted me. I am a single mother of two so I had the odds stacked against me but I just had to prove to myself that I could do this.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am the owner of D R Wells Agency Inc. an insurance agency. I secure and insure my clients assets from their auto to their life. Anything to do with managing your everyday risk I am your girl! The insurance industry is the best kept secret I like to say. Being in this industry I have met so many amazing people and built life long relationships. Believe it or not this is the glamourize side of this industry but it does require a lot of work. When I first started out as an agent I had to push myself out of my comfort zone and learn the art of building relationships and earning my client’s trust. I also had to learn to not take everything so personal which can still be a challenge because I love what I do and I love helping people. I want the world to know that I am here to serve in the best capacity that I can through risk management as your insurance agent. My team and I work hard to make the process of doing business with us as seamless as possible and will operate with excellence.

There are so many people who helped me get to where I am today from my Pastor to my mentors but one lady in particular believed in my dream so much that she was even willing to invest in it and that young lady is Shaniqua Nicole. We spent a lot of nights on the phone motivating each other and she would always tell me what I needed to hear to push me to that next level. I am grateful for her.
