She's someone I now call a friend, a mentor, and just an inspirer in every sense of the word. Today's episode is really special to me. We go super deep with Danielle's own journey through suffering into joy and how she was able to create her beautiful online business. “If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have told me they wanted a faster horse.” - Henry Ford Danielle follows her intuition to create products that she knows people need. She walks us through the pivot that she took going from a full coaching practice into products and more books and doing things differently on her own terms. We also dive into Danielle’s approach to inclusive manifesting. She’s encouraging us to consider how our success is actually going to help other people and lift people up with us. So if you're looking for some inspiration, permission to follow your own heart, and a guide for living life and doing things in a way that feels good, this episode's for you.   BE DARING. BE DIFFERENT. BE FIRST. Danielle was taught early on to “Be Daring. Be Different. Be First.” She learned this lesson in one of her first jobs, working with Anita Roddick. If you want to be first, you have to be courageous and believe in your own originality. Be willing to bring your unique lens and your authentic story. Don’t inflate your success. Just tell people where you’re at in your journey and be willing to serve.   KNOWING WHEN TO PIVOT Danielle has learned to follow her intuition and recognize the signs when it’s time for a pivot. We talk about the difference between pivoting from fear versus pivoting to expand. Did you know you can actually feel the difference in your body? Danielle shared these questions from Eckhart Tolle that she used as a guide when she felt she wanted to shift how she was working with clients: Are you enthusiastic about it? Can you enjoy it? Can you accept it? She has pivoted her work to the point now that everything she does is sending a message of consciousness.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN How to recognize when you should consider a pivot The questions you need to be asking when considering a project or pivot How to learn to trust your intuition Why you shouldn’t get attached to your formulas and gimmicks What you need to become a superhero   ABOUT THE I HEART MY LIFE SHOW Tune into the I Heart My Life Show with Success Coach Emily Williams to learn how to design a life you love, manifest more success and wealth, move past fear and blocks and create joy in your life and business.
