In seeking a way to end his life, it was the fear of failing to do so effectively that lead him to understand he was central to every aspect of his life. This realization gave him back his power. The methodology that he created as a result, ultimately led him to the creation of Stepping Beyond Intention his first best-selling book.

Daniel followed this up with three more best-selling books: From Time to Time, The Dreamer’s Manifesto and The Money Game: A Wealth Manifestation Guide.

Today Daniel lives his ultimate, dream life with his young family. He speaks regularly, offers group coaching and one-to-one sessions. He is a guest contributor to Entrepreneur Magazine, Brainz Magazine, The Good Men Project and Elephant Journal to name just a few.

Story of how Donna and I met

What was life like growing up for you?

Why focus on writing children’s books when the average attention span is less than 7 seconds and most people just want to find the answer as opposed to learning through the process?

The value of time and slowing down to READ.

Was there a book you can look back on that transformed your writing career?

Book you just had to scream from the mountain tops?

Talk about helping a young reader feel the progression of reading one page at a time which potential results in an increase in confidence

ENERGY and learning how to harness it and express it – especially when living in pain…

What are your life’s essential ingredients?

Why do you do what you do?  What personal satisfaction do you feel after helping someone like me?

I often hear you speak of your grandchildren, what is the greatest joy of being grandma (is that what they call you).
