Group Fire Starter Session with Danielle LaPorte

note: this event is $100 for the afternoon (not FREE as stated above.) Explanation: Once an event listing is published you can't change the price listing, and my membership upgrade (which allows for listing paid-for events) crossed wires with the "free" field. So there you have it. Read on....

3 hours. 10 entrepreneurs. My story. Your questions. Our ideas on how to rock your business. Saturday, April 11

Morning sessions: 9:30 to 12:30, {10 spaces available} Afternoon sessions: 1:00 to 4:00, {10 spaces available} $100.

"My Fire Starter Session with Danielle is the best investment I have ever made. Ever." - Sarah Bray, Web developer, Virginia Beach

"...one of the coolest things I have ever done for myself." - Alisa Barry, CEO, Bella Cucina Artful Food, Atlanta

"Danielle is brilliant, radiant, generous and results oriented." - Rebecca Walker, named by Time as one of the 50 most influential American leaders of her generation

Acumen, instinct, brass tacks advice, and inspiration to blaze your trail. Spend a morning or afternoon think-tanking your business. I'll offer up the grace and grit of my accomplishments and philosophy - from investor to Oprah pitches, social media to social responsibility. After that opening "entrepreneurial story time" (which alone will be worth the day) we'll actively jam on strategies for everybody's business.

We'll look at branding, social and guerrilla marketing and publicity, publishing, raising capital, and defining success on your own terms. Real experience, unfettered opinions, and genuine encouragement. True magic. Truly PRACTICAL.

When you book your space, you'll receive my set of 'Burning Questions' about your work. And I will personally review your site or media materials in advance and may come armed with some ideas for you.This is for every kind of entrepreneur - from start ups to well established businesses, to 9 to 5'rs who want to break out on their own.

Booking is on a first come, first served based. Contact me directly: d@daniellelaporte.com to reserve your space, or with any questions. Upon payment via Paypal, I'll email you the Burning Questions for you to explore in advance of the group Fire Starter, and send you directions to the meeting location.

Group Fire Starter Sessions are incredibly useful and meaningful experiences. I hope you'll seize the opportunity. Spread the word.

“I had the privilege of having a Fire Starter session with Danielle. I honestly feel like I’ve been revived after flat lining. She makes it easy to let go and trust the process even if you don’t see out outcome at the moment. By the time I finished listening to the recording of our session, I had completely written my action plan. I haven’t stopped since." - LD, magazine founder, North Carolina

"An excited, thankful update: my blog readership went up 60% last month, just scheduled my first "stress relief at work" workshop, scored a couple new teaching gigs, and am looooving life! So THANK YOU, THANK YOU a million times over for all of your practical inspiration. I really feel blessed." - Lindsey Lewis, Yoga teacher, and Writer

"You're one of the most highly intuitive, creative souls I've ever worked with. Each time we speak, you open my mind and heart to career possibilities I've never thought of. Really, you're a true creative visionary/genius." - Linda Siversten, Writing Consultant, author of Harmonic Wealth with James A. Ray, and Generation Green

"The time with Danielle has blown my mind and been a huge leap in clarity. Danielle’s presence and compassion and intuition as well as her powerful questions, have really helped me to get a heartfelt sense of who I am and what I stand for. Quite simply I walked away with a clear sense of me and what I need." - RC, Think tank executive, Ottawa

"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
