Events entrepreneur Diann Valentine saw her business grow from her father’s garage into a full-fledged brand that includes publishing, products and a TV show. Her story of confidence, faith and perseverance is a prime example of how today’s small business isn’t so small after all, making a big impact on the economy as well as the world at large.
