Dianna Liner
Founder/CEO, Liner Entertainment Group LLC

MY GREATEST STRENGTH

Communication and strict attention to my artists’ needs—these make me a better, stronger manager and agent, which improves my business and reputation in today’s industry.

MY INSPIRATION

God inspires me! My competition in the industry provides the fuel to make me strive to do better—continuously strive for excellence for my clients and my business. In this industry, I live by the words, “Let Your Haters Be Your Motivators.”

HOW I MOTIVATE OTHERS

I inspire others to NEVER give up on their dreams and always strive to do their best. Failure is not an option, and the word, “CANNOT,” should not be in your vocabulary.

OUR GREATEST CHALLENGE

The greatest issue in the African-American community is, without question, the fact we stab each other in the back. We do not support one another! We continue to pull one another down with negative remarks and disrespect. We must become a race of people that works together to support our individual and collective success.

GIVING BACK

Liner Entertainment is currently forming a nonprofit organization that will raise funds by putting on concerts and events to give back to schools, underprivileged children, higher education, and more.

LESSONS LEARNED

Surround yourself with POSITIVE people—those who know EXACTLY what their goals are and where they are headed. Do not waste time with people who do not have anything to contribute.

FINDING BALANCE

I maintain a healthy balance with relaxation, meditation, and plenty of rest.

PERSONAL WISDOM

My patience has improved. I was very impatient, but I have learned if I just step back and take a deep breath, things will work out. DO NOT STRESS. JUST LET GOD TAKE THE WHEEL.

CAREER ADVICE

If you are starting your career or business, it is necessary to be patient; keep an open mind; be a good listener and a good follower. In order to be a good leader, you must be able to follow.
