From hiding handwritten goals under her mattress at age 12 to representing England in netball and later Jamaica in rugby, Danielle shares the defining moments that shaped her unique approach to achievement. She vividly recounts the emotional journey of childhood trials that became her catalyst for success—a painful rejection that transformed into an unwavering determination to prove herself worthy in everything she attempted.

In this epsiode, we talk about: 

- Juggling multiple roles including netball at high level, rugby for Jamaica in both sevens and fifteens, and three separate businesses
- Creating a personal goal-setting system at age 12, writing goals and hiding them under her mattress as promises to herself
- Using the skills learned in sports—resilience, leadership, communication—to succeed in business environments
- Overcoming rejection in netball trials and using that experience as motivation to prove doubters wrong
- Transitioning from netball to rugby later in life and representing Jamaica internationally
- Building businesses based on her skills rather than accepting full-time employment to maintain flexibility
- Developing a formula for success: ability (continuous learning) multiplied by effort (doing the extras) multiplied by attitude
- Finding purpose in sharing her experiences through motivational speaking and coaching workshops
