We bring you incredible guests who share their real life experiences of being an entrepreneur so you can have your whole life work. Now, here's your host, Amber Howard.
SPEAKER_02Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to What Would Amber Do? I am like, I have no words for how excited I am or thrilled to have Danielle Amos on the show as my guest this morning. Danielle is a success, mindset, and prosperity coach. She's a podcaster. She's part of Bob Proctor's inner circle of excellence. In fact, she's like top three in the world of PGI's consultants. She's just built and is building this beautiful community of human beings who are, you know, creating the life of their dreams. Danielle is also a mom and a wife and an inspirational speaker and social marketing entrepreneur and expert. And really, who Danielle is for me, not only a dear friend and someone who I really, really love, and I'm just so present to that love right now. But Danielle, I hired her as my coach when I discovered that there were some things that I needed to break through, blocks I had around money and an abundance and really manifesting what I wanted in my life. And I can say that during my time in Danielle's community and studying with her, I had some of my biggest shifts ever, just around money, living a created life, and really actually starting to like deal with a lot of the emotional blocks that I had for much of my life. So, Danielle, I think you know who you are for me and and for so many people, just thank you for being on the show.
SPEAKER_00Thank you, Amber. And I have to say, I'm just so, so proud of you. When you came and you said, listen, I'm I want to talk to you about what you do. And we had known each other for a while. And to be like, I was just so humbled that you'd asked me to be along your side on that journey and watching you break through for me was so emotional. I remember that hot seat. I just yes, and just seeing, you know, and then I see that you are now um in pilot school and going on your dream vacation. Amber, I am so proud of you and thank you for being such an inspiration. It's just incredible to see who you are in the world for yourself first, for your kids and for humanity. I love you.
SPEAKER_02Well, I love you too. You know, I I love that you said that for you first, because I think that was like, you know, talking about that hot seat, right? And then we typically start with like we dance in these conversations. I typically start with like, how did you get to be where you are today? But like, let's let's just dive in here. Like, I remember coming to that hot seat, and like I did that, like that hot seat, like I did most things in my life. It's like, oh, it's gotta be about other people. Like, how is this gonna be a contribution? And I've got to like figure it out. And and I came to your community that way, right? Like all strategy, wanting to, you know, all of the planets needing to be in the alignment in order to move forward with anything. And and I remember you just like you being like, it doesn't matter if this contributes to anyone else. This is your hot seat, this is about you. And I was just like like that idea that I could want anything in my life just as a function of my wanting it, not because it had to serve some higher purpose or be about contributing to other people, but that that my wants mattered, uh, you know, it was really life-altering for me, Danielle. And and actually, you know, we'll get to how you got to be where you are today, because your journey is a really beautiful one. But you know, maybe why why don't we start there? Why, why do you think, from your experience, and you've done this work with so many people, why do you think human beings have such a hard time expressing or getting clarity or even confronting like what do I authentically want? Like, what do I want in my life?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think there's a myriad of like a lot of reasons, really. And it comes back to what we heard and the way society showcases the like the idea of wanting desires, greed, and all of that. And you could even see it in like movies and songs and like across our culture. So think about this. When you were a kid and you wanted something, and for those of you listening, just put yourself in your like five-year-old shoes for a moment and listen, it's no one's fault, right? It's just the way that we were programmed. It's like we want something, and the first question is like, Well, you don't need that, or can't you be satisfied with what you've got? And we hear these things like that, or maybe it's coming from mom or dad who says, Well, we can't get that. Money doesn't grow on trees. Where are you gonna get the money for that? And so over the years, what happens is we're taught to like sort of settle, and we're taught that unless it's for, like you said, the family, or it's this bigger idea, then like just be happy and and really settle. And so over the years, our imagination gets weaker as kids, and it just gets dampened and by everyone, like you know, we go out and say we're gonna fly. Oh, you can't be superman, you know, like it's really and all this is happening, and we don't even realize, but it's a compound of fact, isn't it? And so we're told to be realistic that we've got to see how that um, you know, money doesn't grow on trees, that da da da, all these things, and then that leads us as adults to think that if we want something for ourselves as greedy, then all the you know, um and there's yeah, then you got the impact of well, unless I really need it, or unless I give something up, then maybe I can have that. So if I don't have that, then I can have that. Or, you know, and it's it's that. It's it's just yeah, it's an interesting thing. What I what I thought you were gonna ask me was why do why do you think we think that it has like our desire isn't enough, you know? So why is that important to listen to our desires? And I think that this is a really important question. Like the quality of our questions determines the quality of our life, right?
SPEAKER_02So I have no idea how many times I say that, but if you had like a dollar for every time someone said that, like I literally say that to someone probably every day. So if you've heard me, by the way, on the show or teaching or anywhere in life, say the quality of your questions gives the quality of your life. Everyone, I got that from like that was contributed to me by this amazing woman here.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So that question of like the does the the important why we need desires, why every human being has desires in the first place, I think is a really good question to understand because the universe is literally God, universe is expanding through you, Amber. So your wanting is how the universe grows, and there is a law, and it's the growth, right? So things are either growing or dying, going backwards or or going forwards or backwards, and there's no staying the same. So it's the creation, law of creation. So if you look outside, the tree is growing naturally. Your desires are how you grow, and I think that's an important question because the universe is literally growing through you. You are an extension of source energy, and source is for growth, abundance, more, more, more, more, more. So the fact that we think it's greedy to want more is actually the opposite of natural law, it needs to grow through your desires, the universe, so that it can experience all that there is, and that's why infinite intelligence, source, god, you you insert your name that feels good to you, gives you desires. Your inner being gives you these desires so it can grow. And if you're not growing, you're dying.
SPEAKER_02Yes, so true. And it's great because you can look in life, right? Like there could be some areas where you are growing, right? But that that inquiry of like where where am I not moving forward, right? And then like just take the case, like try on. And for any of you listening, like try on that it is the case that you're not comfortable or stagnant or standing still, that you're either moving, as Daniel said, moving towards what you want or further away from it. And um it's such a great exercise to do that ongoingly, right? Like in and looking at the areas of life where where maybe I'm not as satisfied, you know, it's good. But then one of my other friends and mentors, Chris says, like chasing the tip of your authentic desire. Like it's like, where is it a 10 out of 10? Or where is it not? And maybe you can get off and get by on it being a six or a seven or an eight, but what if every experience, what if every area of your life like was a 10 out of 10? Totally. And why not? Like, why not? In the world of everything's possible, why not seek that kind of life? And whatever that looks like for you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, completely. And the only reason we stop at our desires is because we don't know the how we don't, or we think like these other ideas that have been programmed into us, like it's greedy. Like, what will the neighbors think? What will so-and-so think if I really do that? And so all of this junk stops us from actually being a 10 every single day and being on that tip of desire.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like the who am I? One of my newest ones since like since stepping into a new course that I've like, and we really get into those young conversations, right? The ones that you were pointing to about money or or your following your desire, I've really gotten how how how impacted I am by a very young conversation I have around is it appropriate? Or like wanting to be appropriate or not be inappropriate, like, and it's like, man, like now that, and for a long time, like up until and this is for me why I will always be in personal development. Because there's always stuff hidden back there that you can't see. And you're always like, you know, in your work, you talk about like the lid or you know, the limiting beliefs, but it's like that runs my life, that has ran my life, and in terms of like asking for help. There's certain kinds of help that it's okay to ask for. It's inappropriate to ask for help around money, right? Like you can't ask for help around money, that's inappropriate. Like if I'm booking this trip to New Zealand, like, oh, it's inappropriate. I'll be away at Christmas and I'll be missing my daughter's 25th birthday. And you know, in the past, I wouldn't have even asked my kids. Like I wouldn't have even gotten in dialogue about it because it would have been inappropriate to even ask that question, right? So it's like the power of being instructors that have you keep discovering what those conversations are or how they're limiting.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, the truth is those limiting beliefs are are literally running everybody's lives, right? Because we are habitual beings and we don't realize that they're they come up, but that's what the paradigm is. So, you know, all those limiting beliefs that we don't even know are there are showing up and how we're operating, like what you said. Okay, this wouldn't even have been a conversation I had with my daughter until it becomes conscious. So once we're consciously aware, then we can make a new choice. And that conscious mind is, as you know, like two to four percent of our behavior. So it's it's it's not a lot of time, right? That we're in that conscious mind. So it's really important to then reprogram those living beliefs so that we just literally pluck them out. Like, no, thank you. My question to you, Amber, is like it's inappropriate. Like, as we ask that to ourselves or we say that to ourselves in our mind, like according to who it's inappropriate to not be there at Christmas. Like, who said that? No, thank you, not mine. See you.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so who said, right? Absolutely. And one of the things that I discovered through this like last few months is like they're like strings, or we would call them in this this course, like wisdom, networks of conversations, right? So they stay take from the premise that we all are actually just networks of conversations. So the the the impetus of this was like probably around the age of four. I had a I got engaged in a network of conversations about being a bad girl. Now, how many four-year-olds or a bad boy, like how many kids have that experience from the ages of zero to the seven before they have a conscious mind where they can reject something where they're bad in some way, right? And and I can see from that, like all of these connected conversations, both the need to be rebellious and the need to be a good person and a people pleaser, like the need to be nice, like there's so many connected conversations from this one, you know, whatever the event was, I have no idea. I have no clue what actually happened. And it's really not relevant or important. It's just like I started engaging in this network of conversations and it ran it in and I can see like in every area of my life as a mother, as a as an employee, as a friend, as a romantic partner, that network of conversations that got created at the age of four is like run my life until again, as you said, it I become consciously aware of it. And and I'm not always responsible for it, it still runs my life sometimes, but now I get to be a choice about it. Totally. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So great. And it's again in your day-to-day life now, once you become consciously aware that it shows up, then you can do something about it. So it's like we don't need to figure out that root cause event. We don't even need to really know why. It's just like, okay, so now I get, like you said, I get to make a new choice one when I'm aware of it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and and that knowledge, like not just like the difference that it makes in my life, but also the difference in in who I get to be with other people as a result of the like the training with you and all of the other personal development work I've done. I have so much more space and grace for other people's humanity because I really get like if I'm running around having on autopilot, having my subconscious mind run the show 94 to 96% of the time, so is everyone else. And like it's not personal. It's that they're not responding to me. Yeah. I'm not even responding to them. Like, it's just like we're literally like, you know, in our machinery, moving about day to day. And we call this thing a life, right? So it's there's just so much freedom in that and an ability to just love people, like the capacity for love just really expands and grows when we can stop making other people's, when I can stop making other people's behavior mean anything about me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And when you're in that feeling of love, you're in alignment, you're connected to your source. That's when you're at your strongest power. Seeing the world through that lens.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And it's like that's when things are easy. Like life just becomes easy, right? And this is still an area of growth for me. My brain's still regularly, like it's like I would say it's a especially like on days like I had yesterday, it's like all day long. I was like, it's, you know, and asking the question, like, is this the hardest day you've ever had? No, this is not the hardest day I've ever had. Not even close to the hardest day I've ever had, right? But like, you know, and and and that's great because then it just points to, okay, there's some work to do there, right? Like, because I don't want to have to keep, I don't have to keep confronting it and like you know, moving out of the way of the resistance. I can, you know, use some of the tools that I learned in your course and learn through your coaching to actually do the work at the subconscious level and and the tools through neurolinguistic programming to like create neural pathways around that. So like life just becomes easier.
SPEAKER_00Totally. Yeah, and fun.
SPEAKER_02So good. Talk to me a little bit about your, you know, as I said, when I came to to coach with you, like I I teach people strategy for a living, right? I teach people business analysis, I teach people how to come up with like five year, 10-year strategies on. But you for me are someone who you you you're you're masterful at creating, you know, what's next in your business. I I'm I watch you, I watch you a lot, like I watch what's coming up, I watch I'm I'm not communicating in your community as much as I used to, because I've been like up to a lot of stuff myself. And I'm always watching because I just think you're fascinating. And you're masterful, but you lead through intuition. And so talk to me a little bit about like what is the what is your process of creation? Like how do you um because I think it's really, really special. And I think it would contribute something to other people to kind of understand as best, you know, how you go about creating new products, goods, services, or or you know, any of the things that you contribute to the people that you serve.
SPEAKER_00Sure. Yeah, so um it's quite a bit probably opposite to what a lot of people do. And I sort of gave up the need, or I really gave up the need to have a strategy because I found myself, I was so logical in my logical mind and mechanical about business. And, you know, I was doing okay with that, meaning like, I mean, I had worked hard to build a career that was earning six figures, and I was proud of that, and then I quit to become an entrepreneur and I had done things the same way, like very much like this is the way it's supposed to be, and you know, we got the business got to six figures eventually. But when I found when I had my quantum leaps, Amber, it was when I released that part and really went into the mindset. And so what that looks like is it I'll speak specifically to the year when we went from 440 to the 1.8 million um mark. And we consistently sort of triple, but that to me was a really interesting time period because um it just it was easier. I worked less, like literally, like hardly worked. And it was mind-blowing to me. And so what that looked like is really um about me becoming clear in my mind about how, like who exactly I wanted to work with, who I liked serving, loved serving, who I wanted to be around, the type of person and how they responded to this information, how they were really, really curious and that where they were before. So also overworked, underpaid, and wanted to have it all, but couldn't see it in their logical mind, how they could have a great family life and all the money, or do the charity work and have all the money, you know. So I got really clear in my mind and created a picture of what that looked like in my through words, through writing, and really felt into it and felt into who is Danielle when she's serving these people, and like who do I need to grow to be that? And I I wrote it out and I wrote it out and became so clear and I let go of needing to know how. And I said that I was going to follow the intuitive guidance that I received, meaning every day it was my job to get into that energy. Every day it is now my job to get into that energy, to repeat my goal to myself, to write out affirmations, to visualize, like do all this like fluffy stuff that my mind before my business mind said, okay, get on to it. It's like nine o'clock, be at your desk, do your calls, your meetings, and boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. I had to give up all of that. And instead, I was now taking myself for walks on the beach, going to the back hammock, visualizing, you know, at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., when I just felt the need to like raise my vibration again. So I became like like let go of a lot of the order that I created. But the cool thing is, is that in my mind I had more order. In my mind, I knew exactly where I was going. I knew exactly who I was going to help. And I was living as if I was already surrounded by those people. And then it was like this. They just started coming out of nowhere. I'd get phone calls and messages, and women like you, Amber, showing up, going, It's my time. And it just like catapulted. And here I am sitting in the hammock, going, What is happening? And can it be this easy? And then you've got to manage that, going, too good to be true. You know, so the There's next little level growth at every level. But that's that's really, really how it happened.
SPEAKER_02It's so I'm sitting here and in my brain, right? Because I still like that hard work piece. And I'm like, she's just reframing what she calls work, right? There's no way you can earn a million dollars and like not work much. Like, so I'm just like really present to the opportunity for my own growth. Because as I'm listening to you speak, I'm like, I know she says that, but she must like, you know, oh, it's because she's got the team and like Danielle's able to earn that. And you know, like all of like the the chatter, the conversation. And having said that, I also know, like I have experienced, even though I'm not there in my development in this area yet, and I still see that as a gap. It's like I do, I have had those experiences where it's like when when you do get out of that logical brain, and when you, you know, and I remember for I love sharing this story because it's kind of telling one on myself. Like, you know, you and I met in 2017, we were doing a personal development show, you were dealing with whatever you were dealing with in your life and and all of that. And and I remember watching you in the years after until I joined your community in 2020. And I I think I even called you at the time and didn't even have the courage to say, you know, I'm really struggling, Danielle. I I called you at some point, probably in 2019, and I was like, just doing what I often do when I really want to ask for help. But I'm like, let's just, you know, what's going on and how are you? And I we had this like conversation. I and but I remember for most of that time, I just looked at what I was like, what is going on with her? Like, you know, you were going on safaris and you know, Paul's career was thriving, and all of this stuff was showing up in your life. And and for a lot of it, I looked with comparison and jealousy. I was just like, What why her? Like, I'm working my butt off over here. Why is like all of this good stuff happening to her? And that was just the space I was in. Like, I wasn't ready to like to really like again, I was not asking quality questions, like, huh, what is Danielle doing differently? Why is all of this stuff coming to her? And like, why is her life expanding? Like, what is she doing differently than I'm doing that has that be available for her, right? And like magic, your Facebook community showed up. And I remember the minute I saw your free Facebook, Mastering Your Mindset, which everyone should join, by the way, and there'll be links in the show notes. It's a great community, just like such a lovely online community to be a part of. And you, you know, you're so present in that community, you know, through your team and yourself. But I remember going back and looking at when you started that community, and you started that community in like 2017. I've been around for three years at the time I joined it. And I was like, isn't that interesting? Like that it it didn't show up. And it really was like I did a journey into faith in 2019, and it was that journey and that willingness to to start to engage faith in a new way. I I couldn't see, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the conversation that you were having because I just wasn't willing to even consider that things could be easy, that like that I was the one blocking uh the abundance from that was all around me, right? So I just love telling that story because one, it's a bit telling one on myself, like it and we do that, yeah, right? The comparison, the jealousy, the envy, the looking out at other people, and it's like and it's just like that, it's not wrong. It's just that energy creates one kind of result, and you know, probably not the kind of result that each of us wants in our life.
SPEAKER_00Well, we think we think that it's something that the person is doing, and that's logical because that's how we were programmed. Do do do to have the result. It's not what the person's doing, and do the doing isn't what gets you your result. Like that part that took me years to understand. I resisted that. I'm like, no, I was trained to work hard. I that was my badge of honor. That I'm willing to be the last woman standing to make it happen. Like, I I that's me. I know that's you too. And yeah, that's many of your listeners. Everyone, by the way.
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah, it's like with the wearing the martyr with a like like that badge of honor, right? For sure. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_00So, and though, here's the important thing to understand. And there, that's a paradigm, the world where we think work hard like hard work pays off. That's even a saying, you know, and it will get you to the top. That's a paradigm. What what if it actually isn't the doing that is it? What if it is actually the energy? What if it's the beliefs that you're holding, the energy, the feeling you have while you're taking the action? Yes, we've got to move like our bodies, our meat suits around, and we've got to do some things. So I do some things and I take action, I go live and I do my videos, I make my calls and all the things, you know, that I'm inspired to do. However, I learned in this and I had to give up the idea of working hard, was what got me success. It's actually the energy that I have while I'm taking the action, while I'm living my life, that gets me the results. So if we can become aware of how we feel. So when I'm scrolling Facebook and I see Amber and she's just booked her trip to New Zealand, and I'm like, wow, do I say to myself, oh gosh, like I why not me? And it's not to make ourselves wrong, it's just notice the energy. Or do I say, oh my gosh, if Amber can, I can. And there's a difference. So then we and it's just we get to choose the thoughts. Like we are in control as human beings. We have free will, we choose our thoughts, the thoughts lead to our feelings. And so if we say, Whoa was me, like, look at her, she's got a great life, and that-da-da, why not me? Why not switch it around and become curious and start asking the questions? So, what's Amber saying to herself about the trip to New Zealand? What's Amber saying to her, like, how she's shown up for herself that allows that to happen? How'd she, you know, and just get curious and watch? Or you see someone that's just you know hit their million dollar mark instead of like, why not me? Why, okay, well, how are they talking about money? How do they feel about money? Are they how what's their comfort level about money? Like, I just want to watch them and and take it on because success leaves clues. And so the way that I see something happening, I saw a friend of mine go on a private jet to uh to Florida, and I'm like, yeah, that's me. I like I want that experience again. And I and I thought, okay, if she can, I can. That's amazing. And in that moment, I'm like sending her gratitude and love. Thank you for being my example and my inspiration today. Thank you, Facebook, for having that show up in my feed. And I'm sending love and then I'm telling myself, I saw it because it's for me too. I saw it because it's for me too. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02That was a life-altering thought. I remember the first time I ever heard you say that, that when you're in that energy of comparison, and it's like for entrepreneurs, like let's just be honest, it's like the soup that we like, the water we swim in, right? Every you you declare you want to be a coach, you start searching some stuff, and then all of a sudden Facebook's full of your on your feed of all of these other people who are being a coach or having a business, and you're comparing, oh, what's the size of my group to their group? Like what, you know, like it's just natural, it's not wrong. And when you said that, like when you see someone else's success, like you wouldn't even be seeing it if it wasn't coming for you. The fact that you can see it, like your group, right? Your group showed up in my feed when I was actually ready to participate in a new kind of conversation and level myself up to my next level. It's not like I wasn't successful when I came to your group, but it's like total, you know, shift in in the the experience of myself and my life. And and so you said you like you say you ground yourself in gratitude for what you have because you're never gonna get more if you're not grateful for what you have right now. And then you bless their success because you know it's coming for you. It's signs, like as you said, success leaves clues. So I uh that was a life, life-transforming thought for me. Because then all of a sudden it's I'm not competing with anyone. And I love like the signs of getting rich. Uh, like Wallace D. Waddles, like it's I'm not taking anyone else's success. I'm not like when I create my vision and my dreams and fulfill on that, I'm not taking from yours. It's coming from, you know, the limit, limitless substance of which energy of which everything's created, which I think is just beautiful.
SPEAKER_00There's no such thing as comparison in that way or competition in that way, because we're each creators. So if we see ourselves as a center of divine operation, like I'm creating my own experience and it's in isolation to Amber's, meaning uh because of my mind, I'm cre attracting my millions, Amber's mind is attracting her millions. And it doesn't, there are enough millions, in fact, infinite resources to go around. And it does, and that like that whole idea, our human mind has a hard time understanding even the word infinite. What does that really mean? Because we think that there's limitations, but it's just our the way our mind works. There's no the only limitation is is in our own imagination, so that's why there's no such thing as competition. So you see all these coaches online, Amber, you have people that only you can serve and help. And it doesn't mean that, like, let's say I help someone, and we've had this happen where we've both helped the same people. So there's like we help people right now in our lives. It doesn't matter even where you are, too. So if you're a coach that's just starting out and you're like, but I don't have that success yet, right where you are, you have had the experience that can help someone. You are an inspiration to someone, and then as you grow, your audience will grow. So you'll notice that people at different stages of their lives will, you'll be able to help them, and then they might go on and be helped by someone else and come back, and that's attraction, and that is why there's no such thing as competition because we create.
SPEAKER_02Well, I love that. You know, I love like the people that like I had been supporting and coaching and serving, and then like having them come into thinking into results and working with you and and then seeing that it's like that, like you know, that I'm like, yay, like I got I got to be like part of that contribution, and you know, it and it's just such it's such a beautiful thing. And then we're then we're supporting community where like my community gets expanded into your community, like you know, it would there's abundance and growth, there's there's no limit of the people that there are in this god, just look at the news, right? There is no there is no lack when it comes to um people in the world that we could support and be of service to. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00That's good.
SPEAKER_02So I was mentioning to you before we jumped on, I do sometimes wonder though, right? Like because I mean, in the you're still a gap for me in a lot of ways, and and you're a gap for a lot of people, and I'm a gap for people like that 100%. But when you become someone whose life is, I mean it's interesting because you look at people on Facebook and it's like the Facebook life, but I happen to know you and I know that you do really have like the it's not inauthentic, right? The life that you see on Facebook, everyone is the life that Danielle is leading day in and day out. And it's not not in any way to suggest that you know there aren't moments I know you deal with things like every other human being, but who do you look to when you become someone who is like you know, leveling up in their life as quickly as you are and as frequently, like who do you look to for guidance and and inspiration?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's a great question. I um I love using online resources to see what's available to us. So I mean, we can't know what we want until we know what is out there. And for example, I kind of thought like, you know, five, $10 million homes were were the like that's what I was seeing in Muskoka and around here. And then I was shown a $50 million home, and I'm like, wow, I didn't know that a home could be that. And that's just like the sweet part. So I I use social media to to just see because I want to always be blowing my mind about what's possible. Like, um did you know? Well, we knew that Richard Branson flew to space. And did you know, like you can actually buy a ticket now? So that's a pretty like just looking what people, what billionaires are doing, and that's a thing. Like that just was added to my to my vision board. I'll I'll go to space. And I so I look at people like that. Like, what are people, what are they doing? And not just to do it, but just to like I want to know the experiences because we can't know if we want it or we don't, and our mind automatically will say, Well, I don't need the Louis Vuitton, or I don't need to go to space. But if in a universe where anything's possible and you could and it was free, would you want to? Like, is that a desire? So my husband Paul has no interest, he's like, No, thanks. And I'm like, I actually, yeah, like I would do that. I think that that to see the world from that perspective. So that's where I get a lot of my inspiration. I also uh am very close with uh a few of my colleagues here at BI, and um we're constantly sort of blowing our own um minds with like our like you know, I'll hear my friend Kim. I was just on a call with um and she just bought her dream house and she lives in in Ireland. And so I mastermind with some of these people that are like we're all around the same level, my friend Catherine from Germany as well. Um, so they really inspire me and we inspire each other and we call each other out. So that's been great. And then of course, Bob, um, you know, Bob Proctor. However, I um am more inspired at the moment to really find women in my life who are having it all. And so I've been looking online um at the woman that owns Spanks, and her name's blanking me right now, but I watch her. Um also there is a fun woman in real estate. I don't know their name. See, I I'll I'll give them to you so that you can uh Paul always jokes, he's like, gosh, you don't know any actors' names or anything. But um I I follow them on Instagram. There's a woman that's in a reality sort of real estate show, and she talks a lot about self-image, and um, and I'll send you her details, Amber, so you can put them in the show notes. But they um I just watched like fabulous lives where people are going on boats and you know, um yachts and traveling, and if they can, I can.
SPEAKER_02I love it. So let's talk about this for a second because like I'm noticing like you know, the this conversation around and manifesting and and why is it always about money? And like we have such like we we are so freaking messed up when it comes to money. Let's just like you know, so many limiting beliefs. But for anyone listening to the show, because they may be sitting here listening, being like, well, why is it about the Louis Vuitton purse or like the you know, flying a space or flying on a private jet, or you know, why is it about a $50 million home? Because I because we have a lot of stories we, you know, and people may be listening and like taken out by this. Well, I'm not materialistic. Yeah, right. And I know I was for a long time, right? I was someone like I was so self-righteous, so judgmental of wealthy people. I was like, you can either make a difference or you can make money, you can't do both.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So, and I I also know, like, you know, you contribute a lot to to you know, to foundations and you do a lot of charitable works as well. But again, like, see, I feel my brain in this conversation being like, see, she gets to have all of the the nice things because she's a good person and she gives to charity, right? It's so powerful, yeah. That that conversation.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so that's really, really, really important when it comes to money in abundance, is this ability to have your own desires met, and and this comes back to self-image, worthiness, that there is no limitation, and it gets to be this and that, and that's really important. So if we are, and this is comes from science of getting rich as well, Wallace D. Waddle is a great book, it's come up a few times, so you know it's a good read for your listeners. Um, the idea that we have to sacrifice our own life in order to contribute more and make the world a better place is a mistake. If we, it's not true that for an according for us to do the bigger work out there, we need to have less because there are no limits. And in fact, the more that I make sure that I'm happy, like if I want the Louis Vuitton, I get to have it. And there's no judgment there. Like if you want your forward car, you get to have it. So it's super important that we don't judge what people spend their money on and understanding that it is unlimited, it's unlimited. So when I what I've noticed for me, when I fulfill my own desires and I really allow myself to want, and then that's when the opportunities come where I contribute and like more. And so money magnifies a person. So, like money's a magnifier. So, what we want to understand is like I've always wanted um given back to Unstoppable Foundation. When my business was really not doing great, it was like, you know, a percentage of that, and maybe it was a few thousand dollars here and there. Same thing with the food bank in Stratford. And as the money grew, more money goes into those things, but I get to have the cake and this. So if I put all my money into charity, my money at some point would stop coming. Why? Because I wasn't meeting my own my own desires. So it comes in abundance the way it comes because of that understanding. Because of that understanding.
SPEAKER_02So they really do mean it when they say put your own mask on first on the plane, right? Like they really do mean that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And so it's so important. Like, if we're it, if I'm like give up my own comforts because I think that it's going to help over there, it actually doesn't. And that's the point in Wallace D. Waddle's book. There's it's it's like we think that that's going to help. I'm missing a word that's that's in his book. Do you remember when he's like, um uh like if I make myself more poor or like less comfortable, because that's what it is. We think if I'm less comfortable, it somehow evens things out.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I can't remember the word either, but I remember that I remember reading that part of the book where it says, because like my whole life has been about being a contribution and being service to others, and my visions for the future have all been around like really making an impact on the world at a global level. And I remember reading that part of the book where he says, like, you should only focus on you, like focus 100% on what it is that for you. And I remember being like, I I had I choked on that a little bit at first. Yeah, yeah. So but I can see now even in this conversation, there's you know, there's some more digging to do around this.
SPEAKER_00So the idea though is if you're not comfortable, because you're the vessel that the money's coming through, yeah, right? You're the vessel, so you've got to be in a great vibration and comfortable so that the millions come because the that's how it all works. That's how manifestation works. You know, the the energy has to come through a human. We create the world, and so the more fun we're having, the more abundant we're having, the more we have to give. The more. So it's actually our birthright to be abundant. And in order to attract that, we've got to be in this abundant state. And you can't be in that abundant state if you're sleeping on a hardwood floor because you sacrificed the bed in order to give it to the orphanage. It doesn't work. So we've got to give ourselves, put ourselves in the most abundant state, make sure that our desires, because that's when more and more and more comes. So my point is is when I when I see myself like, um, and in the beginning, you know what, Amber, it's exciting. So you do buy, like I found myself buying the purse, I went on the trip and Like I did these things, but then after a while, it's just like now I'm just following my desires. Like it's not every day I buy myself a purse, you know. It's like you're following your desires so that it just sort of evens itself out. But the important thing is that my desires are met. And what I found that what I found is that I'm in this amazing energy. And so more and more money comes. So now it's like hundreds of thousands that gets donated, not thousands like what it was before. So imagine the world with more millionaires like us with good hearts because money's a magnifier. That's how you change the world. That's how we change the world because money is record is needed. Money is needed to build the schools, to build the hospitals, to set up the framework.
SPEAKER_02It's beautiful. We're almost at our the end of our time together for today. And I'm like never wanted to. I'm like, oh, can I just like hang out with Danielle forever? I love it. Um, but I'd love to hear, like, I've been noticing that you're you're creating some different programs in your community. So, like, what is that all about? Like, what you know, like I know that you still deliver, you know, many of the amazing courses offered through the Proctor Gallagher Institute, but I've seen that you've started to create some some different conversations and different kinds of programs. So, like, what's next for you?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, well, I um I'll always teach the the program that I first did, um, which is thinking of results. I'll always teach that because I think I really do believe that Bob's 60 years of research on how the mind works and changing the root cause of our results paradigms is super important in its roadmap. And I don't believe that anyone can do it better than him, just based on how long he's been studying people and successful people and not so successful people, right? So why recreate the wheel? So I know I'll always teach that. Then um, from there, there are some conversations that I've really noticed for myself, like where I'm leaning and where I'm interested. And um, I love helping women, I love helping women step into their truth, like the their confidence, the this um idea that they can have it all. So a lot of us as women have um sort of put our feminine side away um to become more masculine, to show up in this in the business world. And um, I found a lot of beautiful healing took place when I started embracing my feminine side. So you'll see that the courses that I bring out now are, you know, I'm just a few steps ahead of my the people I work with. And and so I recently went through uh a transformation where I connected to that feminine side and like that inner goddess, and I healed a lot of that the baby goddess stuff, you know, what like what you're talking about when we were five and we heard good girls don't cry or good girls don't talk about money, good girls behave, they they're not loud, you know. And I I've been really blowing that up in my mind, according to who, according to who we don't talk about money, according to who, you know, we've got to stay at home. So um a lot of the courses around that, and then also energy. So I've been diving into what it means to be an energetic match for your goal as far as like physics side, the quantum physics. So I've come up with uh with some courses on on that, um, and really looking at uh energy and how to shift your vibration in order to manifest and create courses that people can get into it and hear the teachings, but then it's more important that I don't give them information, but rather I have them apply it right while they're in the program with me. And so results always tell me the truth. I'm very results driven. I want to see you uh transformation, transforming right in front of my eyes. So the programs are that, and they're also shorter. So we're doing like 10-day things, 21-day like hyper around money, like let's get it in, let's get your beliefs and chuck out the ones that don't serve you. And then in the fall, we're launching something that has a in-person component. So no one really knows about this one yet, Amber, but um, it's called the Lux Lab. And I'm actually working with women uh with their mindset and online, but they can come and spend the weekend with me. So we're doing a whole self-image transformation and we're going shopping, and some of the experiences will be completely mind-blowing and taking them out of their comfort zone through like dining, through like clothes and prices and money and makeup and hair and all that kind of just incredible stuff. And it it's very it will be very different for each person involved because it's it's tailored to what that person needs. And they'll be held in a space where they're safe, and yet we'll see a beautiful butterfly come out on the other at the other end. You won't recognize the women when I'm done.
SPEAKER_02Well, I love it. I I as I said, you know, I'm always watching, and I just love everything that you're up to. I love the community that you've created, and I and I just really love you. Thank you so much for being on the show today and and just being such an important part of my life and and such, like you are really such an inspiration. And you know, the the last thing I'll say about you, Danielle, and this is something I pride myself on too, you do the work. Like you're on the court in your life, applying the tools. Like you're not just standing from the front of the room saying you do this and you do that. Like, and I think as someone who's a coach and and and a trainer and someone who's out to really transform people's lives, that is a game changer that like people look at you and it's not, and you're very real and authentic and and vulnerable in your willingness to share not only where you've been, but also where where you're bumping up against whatever you know your next limiting beliefs are and your next paradigm. So just thank you for being that kind of leader in the world because it's what's needed.
SPEAKER_00Thank you. I um don't claim to have it all figured out. I know, you know, what we know is showing up in our world, right? So my results are what I know. And I also know where I came from, you know, six figures in debt, freaking out, stressed, not being able to sleep, not feeling good about myself at all. And um that experience, like it's like I go out and I apply what I've been taught by my mentors and live it and then share it and teach it. And if it works for me, like works, it works for you. And I love that way of coaching because it's so hands-on, it's so and and and it's an application, like it's not like we like I've read all the books, not a whole lot changed. It's not about the knowledge, right? It's about really living in this and being aware each day about how we feel and what we're telling ourselves and who we're surrounding ourselves with. And yeah, that's it's just so important to me. So I thank you for the work you're doing. It's so it's like we're in this together, you know, and one person at a time, one life at a time, it transforms in the way that it does. And then enough of us doing this shifts the energy, and I think we're at a critical place in the world, you know, with consciousness, with understanding. It's meant to be easy, it's meant to be fun, it's meant to be abundant. We actually really are on this planet to have it all. Really, that's what we came here in this physical bodies for was to experience all of it.
