Diane Carroll, Neighbor

I am a teacher/speaker/author/maverick/visionary. I have an array of skillsets. Here are a few… I can support business design, start up and development. Support life changes (intentional or not). In addition I have a background in bookkeeping, self management, business management, ongoing advancement, home based-business, raising great kids, marriage, happiness, and balance. I work with adults and students to plan their futures professionally, spiritually and personally.

I started out studying entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship (in the 70's) because I thought it was the path to freedom and owning myself. I was dismayed quickly. I learned over the years that there are five ways to make-a-living. They are 1) work for self, 2) work for others, 3) non profit, 4) visionary, and 5)Maverick-your-own-path). I started teaching that. Then I realized that these are just models to a livelihood and any of them could be deployed under the right circumstances, if someone knows how to make the models ‘work’ for themselves. I started teaching that. It became clear that many of the old ways of working… were not 'working'. I started creating individual pathways to lives and livelihoods that 'fit' people and lifestyles in the 90's. I am still visioning, innovating and incorporating new ways to have a safer, faster, and less expensive paths to individual freedom, happiness, and best-use-of-a-lifetime.
