"I'm savoring my way through FSS and loving it. And though my life is too busy as it is, I've scheduled a standing weekly appointment to work through Danielle's ass-kicking, fire-lighting, stakes-raising worksheets until. I'm. done. I'm admitting, forgiving, clarifying, imagining, and (most importantly) becoming – and I've needed this for a long time.

If you've got the means, get Danielle on the phone for a one-on-one session with her. But at the very least, get your hands The Fire Starter Sessions and get your fire on. You'll thank yourself for it."

"Money, failure, power, appreciation – this doesn't leave anything out of the mix."

"You know the acronym TABO? It's the curse of most 'info products' that exist today, particularly those targeting the entrepreneur, a particularly vulnerable and needy group. TABO = True And Bleedingly Obvious. The Fire Starter Sessions are kind of the opposite of that. They're fresh, compassionate, practical, sassy, designed (and design is one crucial way that content becomes useful), wise, engaging and, above all, different. This is not praise I give lightly or I give often. And it's lovely when I can do it so completely."
– Michael Bungay Stanier | Author, Do More Great Work and Senior Partner, Box of Crayons

reviews for 1 on 1 sessions with Danielle

"Danielle’s Fire Starter session is invaluable for you at any stage of your career - from early idea to well established rut. She is thorough, quick and intuitive. Her soft spoken style is deceptive. This woman won’t mince words to let you know what you need to hear. And you will be better for the listening. Her questions alone are priceless, but add the brainstorming, cheerleading, taped session and list of resources and you can’t go wrong."
- Ten People to Rock Your Career in 2010
CoachSpotlight.com, Pearl Mattenson

"Twenty-four hours after our Fire Starter Session I had already actioned three of Danielle's suggestions; many months later and I still refer back to my notes from the call. This woman has laser-sharp vision and she sees the gems in the rock of your business that you've overlooked in your panic and stress. She gives it to you straight, while empowering you to make decisions and see future possibilities. Savvy, wise and whip-smart, my session with Danielle is one of the most important investments I've made for my business. Fact."
- Susannah Conway, founder of the Unraveling e-Course Series, UK

"The meat and sheer richness of content I got from our session, not to mention the inspiration and all around feel-goodness is priceless. Plus the session is going to make me waaaay more than what I spent on it. Thank you ever so kindly."
- Kate Northrup, Team Northrup, New York

"I went into my Firestarter session with Danielle feeling all 'Help!' and 'Yikes!' and 'I don't know!' At the end of the session, holy shit, I felt reborn. I was free and light, like I'd had this massive boulder lifted from my chest (how did that get there?). And because I'm skeptical of this kind of 'woo-woo' talk, let me say this: The session was shockingly practical. Danielle helped me lay out a clear plan of action for my little company and gave me the courage to start walking (skipping?) down it. Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it."
- Laura Scholes, Story House Creative, Berkeley, CA

"Danielle's magical mash-up of tough love, genius business acumen and vision spun me around in a way I never expected. When I hung up the phone, I had a list of things to do (and have done all of them, with great results!) and felt inspired with a much clearer, more expansive and totally core-shaking view of my path. I didn't totally think I needed a Fire Starter session at first, but now I think everyone should have one. Sometimes another person's view of your potential is so much more potent than your own, and Danielle has the gift. What transpired during our session may have truly and honesty changed the course of my life forever. P.S. I sometimes listen to our recorded phone-call when I need a boost and a kick of inspiration. Works every time."
- Gala Darling, New York

"A Fire Starter session is one of the coolest things I have ever done for myself. I felt re-energized with a boldness and daring that I have not felt in quite some time. Your motivation mantras bring out the best and push the edge just a little bit further than my current comfort zone. A bit of tough love I needed to get back in the game. I am grateful for someone who is an adventurous advocate and wholeheartedly for my soulful success."
- Alisa Barry, CEO, Bella Cucina, Atlanta

"F. Scott Fitzgerald held that the mark of a good mind was the ability to hold two thoughts at the same time without them colliding. Danielle LaPorte has that ability to an awesome degree: the ability to be both a tough professional and a sensitive human being, to talk a mile-a-minute and then really listen, to value her own time highly and the use it generously on behalf of her clients, and finally, to emphasize both grassroots publicity opportunities and national media priorities."
- Dan Simon, Publisher, Seven Stories Press, New York

"This chapter is BEAUTY – such a kick start. Your words give me permission to be awesome."
– Sas Lockey | Project Manager, Business Coach and Speaker

"I purchased one chapter from Danielle LaPorte’s Fire Starter Sessions and watched the videos - and there it was. Someone, whom I do not know and have never met - telling me to embrace the feminine (not in those words). There was this person on this video telling me about the entrepreneurial tendencies, struggles and idiosyncrasies in a way that no other person had vocalized for me. Telling me it’s OK to be who I am."
