"Hi, I'm Diane. I help entrepreneurs like you build growing businesses step by step."
Startup Consulting
Whether you’ve already started or simply have an idea, sometimes you just need someone to help you with your next steps. Whatever challenge you’re facing — next steps, financial projections, pricing, pitch — you’ll get the personal, expert guidance you need.
Custom Business Plans
My custom offering has it all: a business plan + one-on-one startup consulting rolled into one. Together we’ll distill your idea into a growing business. You’ll walk away with a plan (and operating blueprint) that attracts both investors and customers.
DIY Business Plan Kit
A limited budget doesn’t have to mean a limited business plan. Distilling Your Dream is my step-by-step Business Plan Kit that shows you how to get it right using worksheets, templates and an ebook that explains it all — for any industry.
Roadmap to Profitability
Ideas are great, but if customers aren’t buying, you’re sunk. I help my clients transform their ideas into a roadmap for building a growing business.
Work Smarter
Getting it right from the start is often the difference between success and failure. I help you think through key issues before money and customers are on the line.
Attract Investors
“True to her firm’s name, Diane distilled my ideas into a highly effective business plan. She was equally adept at helping me develop my narrative and my financial projections. I’m really going to miss working with her.”
“Diane’s unique collaborative approach helped us build a stronger business. She had the experience to quickly recognize our core strengths, and consistently challenged us in an effort to improve our concept. Her guidance was a key reason we were able to secure investors.”
“Diane’s business plan secured us a $100,000 business loan within 48 hours. Our plan gave us credibility with our investors and enabled us to then secure $1 million. There is no question we couldn’t have done it without her.”
