Group Fire Starters Sessions with Strategist, Danielle LaPorte
3 hours. A candid success story. Ideas on how to rock in business.
Got the mojo, but need the game plan? Have the strategy but want the customers, the capital, the Twitter following? From start-ups to 9 to 5'rs who want to break out on their own, this is a special opportunity to get PRACTICAL ANSWERS and MAJOR INSPIRATION.
"...brilliant, radiant, generous and results oriented."
- Rebecca Walker, named by Time Magazine as one of the 50 most influential American leaders of her generation
"My Fire Starter Session with you is the best investment I have ever made. Ever. You pinpointed exactly what I needed to do to go to the next level. Within a month, I've had a 125% increase in income. What's next?!"
- Sarah Bray, Web developer, Virginia Beach
how it works
The group session is part motivation, part how-to, and 100% inspiring. It's not a 'workshop'. It's a jam session-meets-lecture. I talk candidly about the grace and grit of my accomplishments - from pitching Oprah producers, to raising big bucks in venture capital, landing book deals, rocking social media and social responsibility, while balancing spirituality and legal contracts. Take notes.
We’ll explore everything from branding to guerrilla marketing and social media, to the nature of authenticity and inspiration. The session is relaxed, but focused. Real experience, unfettered opinions, and genuine encouragement.
Contact me directly to book your space: d@daniellelaporte.com. Upon payment via Paypal, my assistant will email you the Questions and you let the sparks fly. Spread the word.
With Love,
Danielle

I have to say, I love this photo of you!
And I can also comment on the Firestarter sessions.
FABULOUS!!
I feel so charged up.
I can still hear your voice and your superb suggestions.
I've just completed a budget for developing my project.
It feels good to have it on paper. To see it.
I'm taking baby steps each day, staying with what we discussed.
It feels good because after talking to you I can see a much bigger picture.
I can see through to an end result. Nothing feels foggy. Nothing feels out of my reach. Oh yeah, my dream is big, but I'm not backing down from how fierce I can become.
Thank you Danielle!!

Charm City is calling. The eclectic neighborhoods and free-spirited people of Baltimore need your presence. Come see us, and you can take us to the next level of self-realization. Baltimore rocks, but some of us need our fires stirred from the slow burn to some more visible flames.
