Diana Keating shares her journey as both co-owner of Close to Perfection flower shop and a media executive at WKYT, demonstrating how to successfully balance creative side businesses with full-time careers. Through her partnership with childhood acquaintance Erin Graf, Diana reveals how complementary skills and clear communication create business harmony.

• Originally from Illinois, Diana reconnected with high school acquaintance Aaron Graff in Lexington, leading to their floral business partnership
Close to Perfection remains intentionally a side business, focusing on creating beautiful arrangements while maintaining work-life balance
• Diana handles accounting while Erin leads flower selection, creating a "yin and yang" partnership dynamic
• At WKYT, Diana helps businesses with comprehensive marketing strategies beyond traditional TV advertising
• As one of the largest digital agencies in the country, WKYT offers SEO, paid search, targeted display ads, and streaming TV advertising
• Diana builds client trust through providing data, industry insights and maintaining genuine interest in their businesses over the typical 90-day buying cycle
Ladies Leads Lex, where Diana serves as vice president, welcomes female entrepreneurs to their visitor day on the 15th at Sullivan University
• The women's networking group particularly needs members in trades, landscaping, med spa, and medical professional categories
