Did you know that almost anything can be made into a business? A skill you have, a hobby, a dream you've had of doing something all can be the seeds of your successful business. It all begins with the idea. My job is to help you take that idea and make it into the reality of your very own business. I've been doing that with clients successfully for over twenty-eight years.
Or, if you already have a business but it's not doing what you want it to do, my job is to find the areas you've overlooked which will expand your business, producing income from areas you've neglected until now. There's always more aspects of any business than have been utilized. Always further to go to make your business unique, productive, exciting and profitable.
If writing a book is part of your business dream, as a published author I can take you through the process and even work with you to develop a business speaking to groups based on your book.
"Dianne zeros in on what is unique in your business and teaches you how to package it to your target market plus finds other areas of your business which can produce more revenue so you have multiple streams of income from the same business."
We begin with a 15 minute Zoom conversation to make sure we're a good fit. From there we get to work.
Sessions are in blocks of 4 one hour sessions via Zoom with a 15 minute weekly check in to answer questions that may come up.

What Clients Say
"People come into our path at just the right time, and that’s what I’ve experienced with Dianne Shaver. Though we’ve know each other for quite a while, we recently began a coaching relationship and it is making a huge impact on me as a person and on the direction of my business. The biggest impact is helping me recognize accomplishments and value that I didn’t recognize, whether because I tend to expect perfection or because of circumstances in the past that left me with the idea that I would never be good enough or that I couldn’t be successful. Dianne is building on a foundational program that began the process of what I call a “brain rewire job.” Through her persistent encouragement, leading, and cajoling I am gaining confidence, becoming more engaging in both personal and business relationships, and just becoming a better Ann. By encouraging me to be open to new possibilities, new opportunities are coming my way. Dianne is also an invaluable resource to help guide me through evaluating those opportunities and considering major changes in my business."

"Dianne Shaver has saved my business! I recently branched out and I went from someone who thought of herself as rather outgoing and friendly to a terrified little girl. I lost all confidence in myself and in my business as I was continuously confronted with the negativity for the business and products. I began to let others rule my thoughts and my beliefs. I began to shrink into myself and became panic-stricken at the thought of talking to people about what I was doing.
With just a few sessions with Dianne, she helped me to see thru my reactions to others to reveal my true thoughts and feelings. With that she challenged me to think and believe differently and to overcome the black cloud that was leering. She enabled me to reach deep within myself and to pull out the proud, smart, beautiful and confident woman I know I am and encouraged me to stand proud for all to see! "

"Sometimes a business owner needs the perspective of another successful business owner who understands the day to day struggles and how their family impacts the business. Dianne is super with her knowledge and gentle touch to guide one through the myriad of challenges and keep you focused for the long term goals. She's the "go to" gal for seeing your strengths and dealing with your weaknesses. Everyone is here for a reason and she will professionally guide you on your journey. Yes, I highly recommend Dianne's services to any business owner."

"Dianne is truly gifted. Her insight is superb. She shares deep profound information with grace, compassion and clarity. I highly recommend working with her during times of change and confusion."
Rev. Kim Pentecost
Pentecost Consulting
"Dianne's coaching took place just as I'd made several major life changes: retirement from a corporate career, relocation to a new city and state,and a determination to live a new kind of life, as yet undefined. In short, Dianne addressed the heart of my new circumstances. I came away with a new understanding of the resources i have to aid me on my journey, renewed courage to face the unknown, and a revived excitement for the discoveries that lie ahead. While Dianne is not a "fortune teller" her coaching included clues that I can examine for guidance as I make my next moves. Her insights resonated with profound truths."
Janice L. Decker

"Dianne coached me and changed the entire direction of my life. She has an amazing ability to intuit just what is needed for a new perspective, and to communicate it very clearly and with great kindness. I recently had a follow-up which I am in the process of incorporating into my life. I recommend her highly!"
Lee Hurd
"I met Dianne last year at a networking event. I was immediately drawn to her kindly nature. I became acquainted with her on a professional level late last Autumn 2012 where I learned about her business and having sought professional counsel for a variety of reasons, I booked a counseling session. She helped me to really hone in and clarify obstacles I experienced that were roadblocks to my success both personally and professionally. From our sessions I was able to begin rethinking my perspective on things and created new habits or thought and action which have ultimately brought me much needed solace and peace and productivity!"
Jeanne Doran

"Before working with Dianne, I was struggling with getting focused on an idea I had for a women's retreat. Within ONE session, she had me focused and well on my way to planning a spectacular and successful event! When Dianne says she moves fast she means it! She knows exactly what to ask to get you focused and moving forward. Give her a call today!"
